A high-contrast serif with broad, sculpted strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems and terminals flare into wedge-like endings, giving many joins a carved, almost ink-trap-like bite and creating lively internal shapes. Serifs feel integrated and slightly bracketted rather than slabby, with rounded inflections in bowls and crisp, tapered horizontals. Proportions vary noticeably across the alphabet, producing a dynamic rhythm and a display-forward texture, while the lowercase shows compact counters and distinctive, swelling terminals.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, poster titles, magazine mastheads, and brand wordmarks where contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short, high-impact blocks on packaging or invitations, especially when a classic-yet-expressive serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is dramatic and classical, with a fashion/editorial presence that reads confident and performative. Its sharp contrast and flared endings add a slightly eccentric, spirited character that can feel theatrical and intentionally attention-grabbing rather than purely traditional.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif structure with flared, chiseled terminals to heighten contrast and visual drama. Its variable proportions and distinctive joins suggest a focus on memorable word shapes and strong personality for prominent typographic roles.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and flared terminals create dense, high-impact word shapes with an energetic, slightly bouncy rhythm. Numerals and capitals carry the same sculpted, cut-in detailing, reinforcing a cohesive display personality across letters and figures.
