A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. Strokes move from hairline-thin joins into broad verticals, creating strong light/dark rhythm and crisp internal counters. Curves are taut and slightly tapered, while joins and shoulders stay sharp, giving the forms a chiseled, editorial look. The lowercase shows compact, punchy shapes with sturdy bowls and pronounced terminals; figures are similarly bold with tight apertures and clear contrast.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display-forward editorial typography where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages or lead paragraphs when set with generous size and spacing to preserve clarity and texture.
The overall tone is assertive and elegant—classic in structure but energized by sharp, flared details. It reads as confident and slightly theatrical, suited to messaging that wants prestige with bite rather than softness.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and expressive, flaring endings—balancing classical proportions with a more sculptural, attention-grabbing finish for contemporary editorial use.
At larger sizes the sharp terminals and steep contrast become a defining texture, producing a lively sparkle in lines of text. The weight concentration in verticals and the pronounced tapering in diagonals can make dense settings feel darker and more graphic, especially in all-caps.
