A sculpted serif with pronounced contrast and strongly flared stroke endings that create a tapered, chiseled feel at terminals. The letterforms are wide and generously proportioned, with smooth, round bowls and sharp internal joins that produce lively black–white patterning in text. Serifs are fine and refined rather than blocky, and many terminals finish in pointed, wedge-like flicks that emphasize direction and rhythm. Lowercase shows a traditional structure with a compact, double-storey “g,” a slender “t,” and rounded forms that keep counters open while the hairlines stay extremely thin.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and magazine-style settings where its contrast and flared terminals can read as intentional detail. It can work in short-to-medium text blocks at comfortable sizes, especially in high-quality print or high-resolution digital contexts, and is a natural fit for premium branding applications.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, leaning toward fashion and editorial styling where contrast and silhouette are meant to be noticed. Its flared details and sweeping curves suggest elegance with a slightly expressive, display-forward confidence.
This design appears intended to combine classical serif structure with a more sculptural, flared finish, prioritizing silhouette, contrast, and refined rhythm over neutrality. The wide proportions and crisp tapering suggest a font built to deliver upscale editorial character and distinctive headline presence.
In paragraphs, the strong modulation produces a sparkling texture and crisp word shapes, while the very fine hairlines and narrow bridges demand enough size and printing/screen quality to hold detail. The numerals and capitals share the same dramatic modulation, giving headlines a coherent, high-impact presence.
