Keywords: headlines, editorial, magazines, posters, book covers, dramatic, classical, fashion, authoritative, impact, refinement, heritage, expressiveness, flared, wedge serif, sculptural, crisp, calligraphic.
A high-contrast serif with pronounced wedge-like flares where stems terminate, giving the letterforms a carved, sculptural feel. Strokes transition sharply between thick verticals and hairline joins, with crisp, pointed terminals and tightly controlled curves. Proportions are slightly expanded and the overall texture is dark and impactful, while counters remain relatively open for a bold design. The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish structure with compact joins and strong stress, and the numerals follow the same contrasty, engraved rhythm.
Best suited to display sizes where the high contrast and flared serifs can read clearly—editorial headlines, magazine mastheads, fashion and cultural posters, and cover typography. It can work for short pull quotes or section openers, but the dense color suggests avoiding long, small-size paragraphs.
The font reads as confident and theatrical, blending classic publishing manners with a sharper, more stylized edge. Its flared endings and stark contrast convey a sense of prestige, formality, and headline-level drama.
Likely designed to deliver a modern take on flared, calligraphic serif forms with maximum impact—pairing a refined, classical skeleton with sharply sculpted terminals for contemporary branding and editorial display.
In text, the heavy weight and strong contrast create a distinctive rhythm with prominent vertical emphasis and sharp internal notches at joins. The design favors bold typographic color and character over neutrality, especially in mixed-case settings and punctuation-heavy lines.
