This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared terminals that widen as strokes meet their endings, giving the letterforms a carved, chiseled feel. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, with pronounced wedge-like details and teardrop-ish joins that emphasize a calligraphic stress. Curves are full and slightly taut, counters are relatively compact, and the overall color on the page is strong and inky. The lowercase shows sturdy, compact forms with distinct, pointed terminals (notably in a, c, e, s) and a tall, elegant rhythm through ascenders and capitals.
It performs best in display contexts such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book and album covers, posters, and brand marks where its flared terminals and contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial text blocks when generous size and spacing are available.
The tone is formal and editorial, pairing classical serif dignity with a slightly theatrical sharpness. Its flared endings and strong contrast create a sense of luxury and authority, while the sculptural details add personality that feels suited to expressive, headline-driven typography.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif proportions with expressive, flared stroke endings to achieve a premium, attention-grabbing voice. Its consistent contrast and sharp finishing suggest a focus on impact and sophistication over purely neutral body-text utility.
The numerals follow the same display-oriented logic, with pronounced contrast and sharp finishing strokes that make them feel stylish rather than utilitarian. In text settings, the heavy modulation and tapered terminals create a lively texture that reads as intentionally decorative.
