A high-contrast serif with flared terminals and sharply sculpted joins. Thick verticals dominate while hairline horizontals and thin connecting strokes create a crisp, chiseled rhythm. Serifs read as tapered wedges rather than flat slabs, and many strokes widen into pointed or beaked endings, giving letters a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Counters are generous and oval-to-round, with a lively baseline presence from forms like the lowercase a, e, and g; numerals share the same bold massing with thin internal cuts and distinctive contrast.
Best suited for headlines, magazine typography, cover lines, and brand marks where high contrast and sculpted serifs can read clearly. It also fits premium packaging and promotional graphics, especially when paired with a restrained sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, balancing classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward edge. Its bright hairlines and bold stems feel luxurious and editorial, while the flared endings add a touch of vintage sign and print elegance.
The design appears intended as a statement serif that amplifies contrast and flared terminals to create a refined, high-impact voice. It prioritizes striking silhouette and typographic drama over neutral text continuity, aiming for memorable display presence.
Spacing appears display-oriented: the letterforms carry substantial black weight with delicate internal whites, making the texture energetic at larger sizes. The design leans on crisp, angular detailing—particularly in terminals and diagonals—so it benefits from clean reproduction where hairlines can remain intact.
