A sculpted display serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clearly flared stroke endings that swell into pointed, wedge-like terminals. Curves are generously rounded while joins and terminals stay crisp, producing a lively, engraved rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. The capitals feel stately and open, with broad bowls and carefully tapered diagonals; the lowercase shows compact, weighty forms with a noticeable calligraphic influence in the way strokes broaden and pinch. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and flared finishing, reading as sturdy, poster-ready figures.
Best suited to headlines, covers, and large-scale editorial typography where the high contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also works well for branding and packaging that want a premium, curated feel, and for posters or pull quotes needing a strong, stylish voice.
The overall tone is editorial and high-fashion, balancing classical refinement with a bold, theatrical punch. It conveys confidence and polish—more boutique magazine than book text—thanks to the sharp flares, glossy contrast, and assertive dark shapes.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classical serif: combining calligraphic stroke logic and flared endings with bold, graphic mass for modern display use. Its priorities seem to be distinctive word-shape, strong presence, and an upscale editorial character.
The design relies on strong internal shaping and tapering rather than delicate hairlines, so it maintains a dense, graphic presence even in complex letters. The flared terminals create a distinctive sparkle in word shapes, and the heavy, rounded counters keep the texture from feeling brittle.
