A high-contrast serif with a sculpted, flared stroke model: thick verticals and thin hairlines that snap into sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with a distinctive swelling into stroke endings that gives the letters a carved, chiseled feel. Capitals are broad and commanding with crisp apexes (notably in A, V, W, Y) and compact inner counters, while the lowercase keeps a steady, traditional rhythm with sturdy stems and fine entry/exit strokes. Curves on C, G, O, and Q are tight and controlled, and the figures show dramatic thick–thin modulation, producing strong sparkle and pronounced vertical emphasis in text.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other prominent typography where its high contrast and flared endings can read clearly. It works well for editorial layouts, luxury branding, cultural posters, and premium packaging where a classic-but-dramatic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is stately and theatrical—more fashion- and magazine-forward than neutral. Its sharp hairlines and flared endings read as confident and polished, with a slightly ornate, display-driven personality that still retains classical serif discipline.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with a more expressive, flared finishing, creating a bold display face that feels refined and authoritative. Its proportions and contrast are geared toward impact and elegance rather than quiet, long-form neutrality.
At larger sizes, the razor-thin hairlines and pointed joins become a defining feature, while in dense settings the strong contrast and compact counters can create a vivid, shimmering texture. The design’s flared terminals and bracketed serifs give many strokes a directional pull, adding energy without resorting to overt ornament.
