A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and crisp bracketed serifs that give the forms a carved, theatrical presence. Curves are full and tensioned, with pointed terminals and wedge-like joins that create sharp internal angles in letters like V, W, and y. The lowercase shows sturdy, rounded bowls (a, b, p) paired with narrow, energetic joins and a distinct, slightly calligraphic modulation; the ear and terminals on letters such as g and a feel intentionally stylized rather than purely bookish. Numerals share the same contrast and finishing, with expressive diagonals and pronounced thick–thin transitions that keep the set cohesive at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book titling, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and sculpted terminals can remain crisp. It can also work for short editorial decks or pull quotes, particularly when generous line spacing and moderate tracking help preserve its sharp details.
The overall tone is assertive and refined, combining classic serif authority with a dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp terminals and flared finishes add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, making the texture feel more like a statement than a neutral reading face.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary display serif that nods to classical proportions while emphasizing flared, chiseled endings for impact. Its combination of stately capitals and characterful lowercase suggests a focus on expressive typography for premium, editorial-forward applications.
Spacing and rhythm read as display-leaning: capitals feel broad and stately while some lowercase letters introduce lively asymmetry and sharp triangular notches, producing a dynamic, slightly ornamental word shape. The contrast and pointed details are visually striking, especially in tightly set headlines and short lines of text.
