A high-contrast serif with thick, weighty verticals and very thin hairlines, paired with wedge-like, flared terminals that read as softly bracketed rather than slabbed. The outlines feel sculpted and slightly calligraphic, with curved joins and controlled tapering into serifs and stroke endings. Capitals are broad and monumental with generous internal space, while the lowercase keeps a steady x-height and shows lively details in the bowls and shoulders. Numerals are sturdy and display-oriented, with pronounced contrast and distinctive, crisp finishing strokes.
Best suited to display sizes such as headlines, magazine/editorial typography, posters, and brand marks where contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads, pull quotes, and packaging or labels that benefit from a formal, high-impact serif presence.
The overall tone is confident and theatrical, evoking classic publishing and luxury cues while staying punchy and contemporary. Its sharp contrast and flared endings give it a refined, slightly dramatic voice that feels suited to statement typography rather than quiet utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-contrast serif voice with flared, chiseled endings that heighten drama and elegance. It prioritizes visual character and headline authority, using sculpted terminals and crisp hairlines to create a distinctive editorial texture.
In the text sample, the strong thick–thin rhythm creates prominent word shapes and a striking texture, especially in mixed-case settings. The flared terminals and thin connecting strokes become most noticeable at larger sizes, where the sculptural details and sharp tapering read clearly.
