A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared terminals and pronounced bracketed serifs that give strokes a chiseled, tapered finish. Vertical stems read strong and dark, while hairlines thin sharply, creating a lively light–dark rhythm across words. Curves are generous and round (notably in O/Q/C), with crisp joins and pointed details that add bite to diagonals and arms. Proportions lean toward sturdy capitals and a compact, sturdy lowercase, producing a dense, emphatic texture in text and a commanding presence in display sizes.
Well suited for headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and brand identities that need a confident, classic voice with extra drama. It can also work for short editorial subheads and pull quotes where its contrast and sculpted details can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone feels editorial and authoritative, combining classic bookish cues with a more dramatic, fashion-forward sharpness. Its contrast and flared finishing lend a sense of ceremony and polish, making it feel formal and premium rather than casual.
The font appears designed to blend traditional serif structure with flared, calligraphic finishing to create a distinctive, high-impact text color. Its emphasis on contrast and sharply articulated terminals suggests an intention to perform especially well in display and editorial settings where elegance and authority are priorities.
The design shows strong stroke modulation and distinct terminal shaping, which increases sparkle and character but can make very small sizes feel busy. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with prominent thick strokes and fine, tapered details that match the letterforms.
