A sculptural display serif with strong vertical stress and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems often swell and taper into flared, wedge-like terminals, giving many letters an incised, chiseled feel rather than flat, rectangular serifs. Counters are generous and rounded, while joins and shoulders show a soft, calligraphic transition that keeps the heavy weight from feeling mechanical. The lowercase has a sturdy, compact presence with ball-like dots on i/j and distinctive curved terminals, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast, flared logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short editorial passages where the sculpted contrast can be appreciated. It works well for fashion and luxury branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a historic-yet-modern, high-impact serif voice.
The overall tone is theatrical and upscale—confident, stylish, and slightly baroque. Its sharp tapers and swelling stems suggest heritage publishing and fashion-led branding, adding a sense of drama and ceremony to short lines of text.
The design appears intended to merge high-contrast editorial serif construction with flared, carved terminals for a distinctive display personality. It aims to deliver maximum presence and a refined, crafted texture while maintaining classic upright proportions for confident, readable titling.
In the text sample, the bold mass and high contrast create a strong rhythm with striking word shapes, but the flared terminals and tight interior details become the main visual event. Uppercase forms read especially monumental, while the lowercase adds a more human, calligraphic texture that can feel energetic at larger sizes.
