This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings that read as soft, bracketed wedge-like terminals rather than flat slabs. Stems are taut and vertical, with thin hairlines and sharp joins that create a crisp, engraved rhythm. The serifs and terminals often swell into teardrop-like or triangular forms, giving the letters a distinctive, chiseled profile. Proportions feel classically oriented with lively, slightly irregular widths across glyphs, and the italics are not present in the shown material; the roman maintains a poised, upright stance with pronounced thick–thin modulation.
Best suited for headlines, magazine and book display typography, and brand identities that want a luxe, art-directed voice. It can work for short blocks of text at comfortable sizes where the thin hairlines remain clear, and it excels in pull quotes, covers, menus, and packaging where its sculpted terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is sophisticated and stylish, combining classic bookish authority with a more fashion-forward, display-oriented drama. The flared endings and razor-thin hairlines add a sense of luxury and ceremony, while the sculpted shapes introduce a subtle, artistic edge. It feels at home in contexts where refinement and visual character matter as much as readability.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical high-contrast serif forms with flared, calligraphic terminals for added personality and a signature texture. It aims to deliver a premium, editorial look with strong silhouettes and a distinctive, carved finishing detail that stands out in display use.
Round letters show delicate hairline connections and bold, weighty lower curves, producing a distinctive top-light/bottom-heavy texture. Capitals have strong presence and clear silhouette definition, while lowercase details (including the ear and terminals) lean expressive, helping text take on a patterned, high-contrast sparkle. Numerals match the same sharp modulation and flared finishing, making them suitable for prominent settings.
