A sculpted serif with strong thick–thin modulation and pronounced flaring at stroke terminals, creating wedge-like serifs and tapered joins. Letterforms feel chiseled and display-oriented, with crisp curves, narrow hairlines, and robust verticals. The proportions are fairly traditional with a steady rhythm, while selective swelling and tapering in bowls and diagonals adds motion and a slightly calligraphic finish. Numerals and capitals read with a confident, high-impact presence, and the lowercase maintains clear structure with distinctive, stylized terminals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where the flared terminals and contrast can be appreciated. It works particularly well for editorial layouts, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, and premium packaging—anywhere a refined, attention-grabbing serif is desired.
The overall tone is luxurious and theatrical, balancing classic bookish heritage with a modern, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp, gleaming contrast and flared endings give it a poised, premium feel that suggests refinement and drama rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended as a contemporary display serif that elevates familiar classical proportions with more sculptural, flared stroke endings. Its primary goal seems to be delivering strong visual impact and a polished, upscale tone in prominent typographic roles.
Text settings show strong word-shape and punchy headlines, but the delicate hairlines and tight internal counters in some letters can make the texture feel dense at smaller sizes. The design’s personality is carried by its flared terminals and sculptural contrast, which become especially prominent in large-scale use.
