A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke terminals and sharply tapered joins. Vertical stems read strong and dark, while hairlines thin out quickly, creating a lively light–dark rhythm across words. Serifs are wedge-like and often feel bracketed into the stems rather than flat-ended, and curves (notably in C, G, S, and the bowls) show a slightly calligraphic swelling. Proportions are compact and sturdy with a relatively tall lowercase presence and tight interior counters in several letters, giving text a dense, authoritative texture.
This face is well suited to headlines, magazine decks, and other editorial typography where contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can also serve branding, packaging, and poster applications that benefit from a refined yet assertive serif presence, especially in medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, combining classical sophistication with a punchy, high-contrast drama. It feels at home in luxury or culture-forward settings where a strong typographic voice is desired, balancing refinement with a slightly theatrical edge.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional high-contrast serif construction through flared, chiseled terminals, producing a strong display texture without losing a bookish, editorial sensibility. Its consistent modulation and distinctive terminals suggest an aim for memorable word shapes and a premium, contemporary-classic feel.
The alphabet shows pronounced stroke modulation and distinct, sometimes angular terminals that keep silhouettes crisp at display sizes. Numerals and capitals carry a stately, poster-like weight, while the lowercase retains a robust, readable structure that still emphasizes contrast and flare.
