This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings that read as wedge-like serifs rather than flat slabs. Stems transition from thick verticals into tapered terminals, creating a sharpened, carved rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. The curves (C, O, S, g) are round and full, while joins and terminals show a calligraphic modulation that emphasizes thick–thin stress. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with a two-storey a, a single-storey g with a pronounced ear, and a long, slightly descending j; overall spacing feels headline-oriented with strong black presence.
Best suited for display and large text settings such as magazine titles, fashion or cultural branding, posters, and book covers where contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or section headers when a strong, refined voice is needed.
The overall tone is editorial and high-end, with a dramatic contrast and crisp, chiseled finishing that suggests prestige and formality. It feels assertive and stylish, suited to designs that want a classical voice with contemporary sharpness.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif structure with flared, tapered terminals to heighten drama and sophistication. Its pronounced modulation and carved details prioritize visual impact and elegance over neutrality, aiming for memorable, premium typography in prominent placements.
Uppercase shapes lean toward broad, stable proportions, while diagonals and vertices (V, W, X, Y) resolve into pointed joins that reinforce the cut-stone impression. Numerals are similarly contrasty and sculptural, with distinctive internal shaping that keeps them expressive at display sizes.
