A sculpted serif with strong thick–thin modulation and flared, wedge-like terminals that give strokes a carved, chiseled feel. Serifs are prominent and often sharply tapered rather than blocky, with smooth bracketing where strokes meet. Curves are generous and slightly calligraphic, and many letters show lively finishing strokes (notably in S, J, a, g, y) that create a rhythmic, display-oriented texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, elegant construction with pronounced wedges and sweeping curves, especially in 2, 3, and 9.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display, and book-cover typography where contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also serve premium branding and poster work where a classic serif voice is desired with extra drama and visual bite.
The overall tone is formal and theatrical, balancing classical bookish authority with a fashionable, high-impact presence. Its sharp terminals and sweeping curves add a sense of drama and sophistication that reads as premium and editorial rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to merge traditional high-contrast serif structure with flared, tapered finishing strokes to create a bold, attention-grabbing display face that still feels rooted in classical typography.
In paragraph setting the heavy vertical emphasis and tight internal counters create a dark, authoritative color, while the flared terminals and energetic curves keep large sizes lively. Capitals feel especially monumental, with broad bowls and crisp apexes, lending themselves well to emphatic titling.
