A robust, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and sharply cut wedge-like serifs. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with rounded bowls and crisp joins that create a lively, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Proportions are moderately compact with sturdy verticals; counters stay open despite the heavy weight, while diagonals and curved strokes end in pointed, tapered finishes that add snap. Numerals follow the same chiseled logic, with strong curves and sharp beak-like terminals.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, posters, book covers, and identity work where strong contrast and sharp, flared details can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes, but the energetic terminals and heavy texture may be too insistent for long, small-size body text.
The overall tone is bold and editorial, mixing classical bookish cues with a more theatrical, headline-ready edge. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast convey confidence and formality, while the flared endings add a sense of crafted, expressive movement.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, serifed voice—pairing traditional proportions and contrast with more angular, flared detailing for emphasis and memorability in prominent settings.
Uppercase forms feel stately and display-oriented, while the lowercase maintains legibility with clear differentiation between characters and assertive serifs. The pointed terminals on letters like a, c, e, s, and y contribute to a distinctive texture that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes.
