A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. Vertical stems are robust while hairlines snap thin, creating a crisp light–dark rhythm and strong figure/ground in text. Curves are generously rounded with slightly pinched joins, and many strokes end in tapered, angled cuts that add momentum. Uppercase proportions read stately and compact, while the lowercase shows pronounced bowls, tight apertures in places, and a lively modulation that keeps word shapes distinct.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated—magazine typography, cultural posters, premium branding, packaging, and titling. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers where a dense, authoritative typographic color is desirable.
The overall tone is authoritative and editorial, blending classical bookish cues with a more theatrical, fashion-forward sharpness. Its contrast and flared endings give it a refined, slightly dramatic voice suited to premium or heritage contexts.
The design appears intended to modernize traditional serif modeling by emphasizing flared, chiseled endings and strong contrast, producing a commanding display texture that still retains familiar, literary proportions.
The numerals and capitals carry a monumental presence, while the lowercase remains energetic through pronounced stroke contrast and angular finishing. In longer lines, the texture appears dark and assertive, with noticeable sparkle from the thin hairlines against the heavy stems.
