This serif shows pronounced contrast between thick verticals and hairline joins, with stems that subtly swell and flare as they meet sharp, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are compact and angular with a calligraphic, chiseled feel rather than blunt slabs, and the curves (C, G, O, S) are taut with crisp entry/exit strokes. Proportions run on the condensed side with tall capitals and a steady, slightly compact lowercase, keeping counters relatively narrow and vertical stress apparent. Overall spacing and rhythm feel deliberate and text-capable, while the strong contrast and tapering details remain clearly visible in display sizes.
It suits magazine and newspaper-style editorial typography, fashion and cultural headlines, and refined brand identities where a sharp, elegant serif can carry authority. It also works well for book covers and posters that benefit from dramatic contrast and a classic, engraved flavor.
The tone is elegant and assertive: it reads as high-end and editorial, with a poised, slightly dramatic sharpness. The flared terminals add a classic, engraved sensibility that feels formal without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional, high-contrast serif skeleton with flared, tapering stroke endings to produce a distinctive, premium voice. It aims for a balance of readability and sophistication, giving text a lively, crafted texture while keeping forms disciplined and upright.
In the sample text, the bold thick–thin transitions and tapered joins create a lively texture and a strong vertical cadence, especially in capitals and round letters. Diagonals and pointed forms (V, W, X, Y, Z) look crisp and finely cut, reinforcing the font’s sculpted character.
