A high-contrast serif with strongly tapered hairlines and weighty, sculpted main strokes. Serifs are braced and flared, creating wedge-like terminals that feel carved rather than purely mechanical. Curves are round and generous, counters are open, and joins show subtle calligraphic logic, with terminals often finishing in sharp, angled tips. Proportions read broad and spacious with sturdy capitals and a compact, steady lowercase rhythm, giving the face a dense, emphatic texture in text.
Well suited to magazine headlines, book and album covers, and brand marks where a confident, high-impact serif is needed. It also works effectively for posters and packaging that benefit from a premium, crafted look, and can be used for short text passages when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is editorial and dramatic, blending classic bookish authority with a fashionable, display-forward punch. Its sharp terminals and bold black shapes add a sense of luxury and confidence, while the flared detailing lends a slightly historic, crafted character.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional, flared serif voice into a bold, high-contrast display tool—prioritizing striking silhouettes, elegant tapering, and a distinctive wedge-terminal finish for strong typographic presence.
In the sample text the color on the page is dark and assertive, with pronounced thick–thin transitions that reward larger sizes. The numerals and capitals carry the same sculpted, flared finishing, helping headlines and pull quotes feel cohesive and intentional.
