A sculpted serif with strong contrast between thick verticals and hairline joins, paired with flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden into crisp, ink-trap-free endings. The capitals are tall and stately with sharp apexes and carefully carved interior counters, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and maintains a consistent, slightly calligraphic stress. Serifs and terminals read as tapered strokes rather than flat slabs, giving strokes a chiseled, display-forward rhythm. Numerals and punctuation match the same flared treatment and bold presence, holding up well at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and poster typography where the flared terminals and contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for premium branding, packaging, and event identities that need a classic-but-bold serif voice. For longer text, it will be most comfortable when set with generous size and spacing to keep the lively stroke contrast from feeling dense.
The overall tone is confident and theatrical, with an editorial polish that suggests premium branding and headline typography. Its sharp flares and high-contrast modeling evoke a fashion and cultural-magazine sensibility—formal, stylish, and attention-seeking rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a modern display serif that blends traditional high-contrast construction with flared, tapered terminals for added punch and contemporary edge. It aims to deliver strong presence and a distinctive silhouette while staying within an editorially familiar serif framework.
Round letters show pronounced thick–thin modulation, and diagonals (like V/W/X/Y) feel energetic due to the tapered shaping at the ends. The design’s strong dark mass and crisp detailing create a lively texture in paragraphs, but it reads most naturally as a statement face.
