A high-contrast display serif with stout verticals, hairline connections, and pronounced flared, bracketed endings that read as sharp wedges rather than blunt slabs. The letterforms are upright and spacious, with broad capitals and generous internal counters, while the lowercase keeps a conventional x-height and a sturdy, weighty presence. Terminals frequently resolve into teardrop/ball-like shapes (notably on c, e, f, and r), and several joins and diagonals show a slightly sheared, sculpted quality that reinforces the chiseled rhythm. Numerals are similarly bold and sculptural, with strong thick–thin transitions and decisive finishing strokes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display, book covers, and brand marks where its contrast and flared endings can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial standfirsts or pull quotes at sufficiently large sizes, especially in high-contrast print or clean digital layouts.
The overall tone is confident and theatrical, combining old-style elegance with a modern, high-impact headline energy. The sharp flares and glossy contrast give it a refined, fashion-forward feel, while the familiar serif skeleton keeps it anchored in classic print typography.
The design appears intended as a statement serif that merges classic proportions with sculpted, flaring stroke endings to deliver a premium, attention-grabbing voice. Its strong thick–thin rhythm and distinctive terminals prioritize character and impact over neutral text invisibility.
Spacing appears comfortable at large sizes, and the heavy weight concentrates on main stems, making counters and hairlines especially important to preserve in smaller settings. The design’s distinctive terminal shapes and flared serifs create a strong texture line-to-line, which becomes a key part of its visual signature in paragraphs.
