A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and wedge-like terminals that give many letters a sharpened, chiseled silhouette. Stems swell confidently into broad, tapered terminals, while joins and serifs feel bracketed and slightly calligraphic rather than mechanical. The rhythm is lively and somewhat variable: rounded forms (C, O, Q) show strong thick–thin modulation, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) end in pointed, blade-like tips. Numerals echo the same drama with prominent contrast and tapered feet, producing a display-forward texture even in mixed text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine spreads, book covers, and branding where a strong, premium serif voice is needed. It can work for short passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, but its sharp contrast and distinctive terminals make it most effective when given space to breathe. It also fits packaging and identity systems aiming for a refined, dramatic presence.
The font projects a theatrical, high-end tone—part classic bookish serif, part fashion and cultural editorial. Its sharp terminals and flared finishes read as confident and slightly baroque, creating an impression of prestige and drama rather than neutrality. In headlines it feels commanding and ceremonial, with a refined edge that suggests curated sophistication.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif structure with more expressive, flared stroke endings to create a distinctive display texture. Its exaggerated contrast and pointed terminals prioritize visual impact and character, offering an upscale, editorial feel while retaining recognizable, traditional letterforms.
The lowercase includes compact, weighty bowls and crisp entry/exit strokes that reinforce the carved, flared motif; round dots (i, j) add a clean counterpoint to the otherwise angular terminal language. Uppercase proportions are sturdy and formal, and the overall color on the page is dense, with sparkle coming from the intense contrast and pointed terminals—especially noticeable in combinations like W/X/Y and in Q with its sweeping tail.
