A sculpted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and flared, wedge-like terminals that expand at the ends of stems. The letterforms mix crisp, knife-edged joins with broad, rounded bowls, creating a dynamic rhythm of thick black shapes against hairline transitions. Serifs feel integrated and tapered rather than bracketed slabs, with sharp entry/exit points and occasional spur-like accents. Proportions lean display-oriented: capitals are compact and powerful, counters are relatively tight, and curves are drawn with a slightly calligraphic, chiseled finish. Numerals share the same dramatic contrast and showy terminals, maintaining a consistent, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style editorial typography, and striking poster work where its contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It can also support branding and premium packaging that benefits from a dramatic, high-end serif voice, especially in short phrases and display settings.
The overall tone is assertive and luxurious, combining classical serif cues with a contemporary, fashion-forward edge. Its strong contrast and flared endings read as theatrical and refined, giving text a sense of ceremony and polish rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing serif for display typography, pairing classical structure with flared, chiseled terminals to create a luxurious, modern editorial presence.
In the text sample, the dense blacks and sharp terminals create a distinctive, rhythmic “sparkle” at larger sizes, while tight counters and hairline transitions suggest it will look most comfortable with generous size and spacing. The design’s personality comes through in prominent curved strokes and tapered endings that can feel slightly swashy in certain letters.
