A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals. The serifs are sharp and often flared, with frequent ball terminals and teardrop-like joins that give many letters a carved, ornamental feel. Proportions lean toward display: compact counters, assertive vertical strokes, and subtly varied character widths that create a lively rhythm across words. Uppercase forms read stately and structured, while the lowercase introduces more personality through ear-like spurs and occasional swash-inflected details (notably in letters like a, g, and y). Numerals follow the same high-drama contrast and decorative terminal treatment, staying cohesive with the letterforms.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine titles, luxury branding, and packaging where its contrast and decorative terminals can read clearly. It can work for short editorial subheads or deck text when set with comfortable leading and restrained line lengths, but it is most effective when allowed to operate as a focal typographic voice.
The overall tone is theatrical and refined—evoking high-end print, fashion mastheads, and classic bookish prestige, but with a modern, stylized edge. Its sharp contrast and ornamental terminals feel confident and attention-seeking rather than purely utilitarian, lending a sense of ceremony and sophistication.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classical high-contrast serif through more ornamental, sculptural terminal work—balancing traditional proportions with distinctive ball terminals and flared cuts to create a memorable display signature.
In larger settings the distinctive terminals and ball details become a defining texture, while at smaller sizes the tight counters and thin hairlines may demand generous spacing and careful use of color/contrast. The font’s rhythm is driven by strong verticals and crisp cuts, producing a punchy, poster-like presence even in short lines of text.
