A heavy, high-contrast serif with broad, sculpted strokes that taper quickly into thin joins and tight counters. Serifs and terminals feel flared and bracketed rather than slab-like, with frequent teardrop/ball finishing on curves and some sharp wedge-like cuts on diagonals. Curves are generously rounded, but the overall construction stays crisp and formal, producing a strong black presence and a rhythmic, engraved look in both caps and lowercase. Figures and capitals show noticeable width variation across the set, reinforcing a display-oriented texture.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, and short blocks of text where its contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It can add authority and a premium feel to branding, packaging, and editorial display settings, and works particularly well when set with generous tracking and leading.
The tone is assertive and theatrical, with a refined, old-world confidence. Its glossy contrast and sculpted terminals suggest classic print traditions and a slightly retro, poster-like sensibility while still reading as upscale and composed.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, editorial display serif that blends classic, engraved styling with expressive flared terminals. Its emphasis on strong verticals, sparkling hairlines, and distinctive ball-ended details prioritizes character and impact over neutral body-text restraint.
Large, open bowls (notably in O/C and the rounded lowercase) are paired with pinched connections and deep notches that create sparkle at larger sizes. The lowercase includes prominent ball-like terminals (e.g., a, f, j, y) and compact interior spaces in letters like e and s, which heighten personality and weight on the line.
