This typeface presents a sculpted serif structure with pronounced stroke modulation and flared terminals that broaden into sharp, triangular wedge-like endings. Curves are full and weighty, counters are relatively compact, and the overall rhythm alternates between thick verticals and hairline joins for a strongly modeled, print-like texture. Serifs feel integrated into the stroke flow rather than added as slabs, and many joins show subtle tapering that suggests a calligraphic influence. Uppercase forms read tall and authoritative, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy presence with rounded bowls, crisp beaks/ears, and distinct, high-contrast diagonals.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, mastheads, brand marks, luxury packaging, and poster titles where its sculptural contrast and flared endings can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when paired with a calmer text face and given adequate spacing.
The overall tone is formal and theatrical, projecting an upscale, editorial sensibility with a hint of vintage gravitas. It feels designed to command attention—confident, polished, and slightly dramatic—suited to headlines that want a refined but assertive voice.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif heritage with more contemporary, flared shaping, delivering a high-impact display face that feels both refined and bold. Its exaggerated modulation and integrated wedge terminals prioritize character and presence over neutrality.
At display sizes the sharp wedges and hairline connections read clean and expressive, creating strong word-shape contrast. In longer passages the dense black strokes and tight internal spaces can build a heavy texture, so generous tracking and leading may help maintain clarity.
