A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and strongly bracketed serifs that give an incised, carved impression. Vertical stems are weighty while hairlines are very thin, producing a crisp light–dark rhythm and pronounced stroke modulation. Curves show teardrop/ball-like terminals and tapered joins, and many letters have tight apertures and compact counters, which increases density and graphic presence. Proportions feel display-oriented with assertive capitals and slightly irregular, lively widths across the alphabet.
Best suited to headlines, large subheads, and short bursts of copy where its high contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It works well for magazine/editorial design, fashion and culture branding, event posters, and premium packaging where a classic-but-expressive serif is desired.
The overall tone is dramatic and fashion-forward, blending classic elegance with a slightly theatrical, vintage edge. Its sharp contrast and flared details read as luxurious and attention-seeking, suited to bold statements rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined display serif with an engraved, flared character and strong contrast, prioritizing visual drama and personality for prominent typographic moments.
In text settings the heavy dark strokes and narrow openings create a strong “ink color,” which can feel imposing at smaller sizes. The numerals and round letters emphasize the same sculpted contrast, reinforcing a cohesive, poster-like voice.
