A high-contrast serif with broad, sculpted capitals and crisp wedge-like serifs that flare into the stems. Thick verticals pair with hairline connecting strokes, producing sharp joins and pronounced modulation throughout. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with a moderate x-height, tight apertures in letters like c and e, and distinctive, curved terminals—especially visible on a, f, g, and t—giving the texture a carved, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Numerals share the same tension between heavy stems and fine hairlines, reading as display-oriented and emphatic.
This font is best suited to headlines, pull quotes, cover lines, and brand marks where its high contrast and flared serif detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for magazine-style editorial typography and posters, especially when set with generous size and comfortable line spacing to keep the texture crisp.
The overall tone is stately and theatrical, mixing classical bookish authority with a fashion-forward edge. Its sharp contrasts and flared endings feel ceremonial and premium, suggesting tradition, prestige, and intentional drama rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a commanding, elegant serif voice with a distinctly sculpted, flared finish. It prioritizes expressive contrast and strong silhouettes to create impact in display settings while still retaining recognizable, classical letterforms.
Across both the grid and the text sample, the design maintains consistent contrast and serif treatment, creating strong word shapes at large sizes while becoming dense and visually busy as lines tighten. The capitals are especially commanding, and the punctuation and dots appear bold enough to hold their own against the heavy strokes, reinforcing a headline-first personality.
