A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and flared, tapering terminals that give the strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. Serifs are bracketing and often wedge-like, with sharp entry/exit points and occasional hooky details that add motion at the ends of curves. Counters are compact and the rhythm is energetic, with slightly irregular, hand-influenced stroke transitions that keep the texture lively in text. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, chiseled logic, with strong verticals and crisp, tapering finishes.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short editorial settings where its sharp contrast and flared details can be appreciated. It works well for branding and packaging that wants a premium, classic voice with expressive bite, and for book covers or magazine spreads where strong typographic personality is desired.
The overall tone is theatrical and editorial, pairing classical serif cues with a more expressive, fashion-minded edge. It reads as confident and slightly eccentric—formal enough for heritage cues, but animated enough to feel contemporary and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact serif with a carved, calligraphic sensibility—combining traditional serif structure with flared terminals and dramatic modulation for modern editorial presence.
Uppercase forms feel display-oriented, with bold silhouettes and distinctive terminal shapes that create strong word images. In running text the high modulation and spiky terminals produce a dark, punchy color and a distinctive sparkle at edges and joins.
