A high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring at stroke endings and crisp, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms combine sturdy verticals with hairline joins, producing a strongly modulated rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Curves are smooth and full, while diagonals and cross-strokes stay sharp and clean, giving the design a sculpted, print-forward feel. Spacing appears moderately tight for display use, with distinctive punctuation and numerals that match the same flare-and-hairline logic.
Best suited to large sizes where its hairlines and flared endings can be appreciated—editorial headlines, magazine covers, cultural posters, and premium branding. It can also work for pull quotes and section openers where a dramatic, high-impact serif is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and refined, balancing classical sophistication with a bold, headline-ready presence. Its strong contrast and flared detailing lend a sense of fashion and prestige, while the sharp terminals add a slightly theatrical edge.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-contrast display serif that references classical forms while amplifying contrast and flare for modern editorial impact.
The capitals read particularly stately thanks to broad bowls and firm vertical emphasis, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open counters and a steady, traditional construction. The figures are prominent and stylized, suited to attention-grabbing settings rather than neutral text.
