This serif shows sharply tapered strokes with pronounced swelling in curves and heavy, wedge-like serif/terminal endings that read as subtly flared rather than flat slabs. The contrast is strong, with hairline connections and very dark main strokes creating a crisp, high-impact rhythm. Curves are sculpted and slightly calligraphic, with pointed joins and teardrop-like finishing in places, while the overall proportions feel sturdy and vertical. Counters tend to be compact and the texture on the page is dense, especially in capitals and rounded letters, giving the design a carved, display-oriented presence.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display typography, and branding where a bold, refined serif voice is needed. It can work well for packaging and titles that benefit from dramatic contrast and sculpted details, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the flared terminals and wedge serifs remain crisp and intentional.
The overall tone is commanding and refined, balancing classical formality with a slightly theatrical, fashion-editorial edge. Its sharp tapering and dramatic contrast evoke prestige and ceremony, while the flared endings add a distinctive, crafted personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, high-impact serif with a distinctive flared, carved feel—prioritizing expressive contrast and striking silhouettes over neutral text regularity. Its letterforms aim to communicate authority and elegance in display settings.
In text, the font produces a dark, high-contrast color that emphasizes word shapes and punctuation with a confident, poster-like punch. The flared stroke endings and sharp internal transitions become more noticeable as size increases, where the design’s sculptural details read most clearly.
