This typeface is a sculptural serif with pronounced flaring at stroke endings and sharply carved, wedge-like terminals. It shows a strong thick–thin rhythm with crisp joins and a slightly calligraphic, engraved feel, while keeping an overall upright stance. Uppercase forms are broad and assertive, with triangular serifs and tapered horizontals; lowercase forms are sturdy with rounded bowls and tight, ink-trap-like notches where curves meet stems. Counters are relatively compact and the texture is dense, producing a punchy, high-impact word shape, especially in the heavier capitals and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display, posters, and branding where its carved contrast and wedge serifs can be appreciated. It can work for short pull quotes and titling in editorial layouts, and for packaging or identity systems that want a classic yet striking serif voice.
The overall tone is editorial and dramatic, mixing classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward, display sensibility. Its sharp wedges and flared finishes add a refined, slightly theatrical edge that reads as confident and premium.
The design appears intended to deliver a premium display serif with an engraved, flared-stroke personality—prioritizing dramatic contrast, crisp terminals, and strong silhouettes for attention-grabbing typography.
The design leans on strong internal cut-ins and pointed junctions that create sparkle at larger sizes, while the bold massing can make paragraphs feel heavy if set too small or too tight. Numerals match the serifed, flared character of the letters, keeping the same carved contrast and compact counters for consistent color.
