A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and wedge-like, flared terminals that broaden into sharp, triangular serifs. The letterforms show crisp, high-contrast joins and a slightly calligraphic stress, giving bowls and counters a carved, chiseled feel. Curves are taut and energetic, with distinctive angular cuts at stroke endings, while verticals read strong and steady; spacing feels intentionally paced for display, with a rhythmic mix of broad rounds and tighter straight-sided forms.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, titles, and branding systems where a high-impact serif is desired. It can also work on packaging and signage when set with generous spacing and comfortable line height to keep the sharp detailing from feeling cramped.
The overall tone is confident and theatrical, leaning toward an editorial, classical look with a touch of dramatic flair. Its sharp terminals and bold presence suggest sophistication and authority rather than softness or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical serif voice—combining traditional proportions with more aggressive, flared, wedge-like finishing—so the type reads refined yet attention-grabbing in display settings.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and pointed terminals create a lively texture that stands out at larger sizes, while dense paragraphs can appear intense and busy. Numerals and capitals carry the same carved, wedge-terminal language, reinforcing a cohesive, emphatic voice across headlines and short runs of text.
