A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and sculpted, flaring terminals that broaden into wedge-like endings. The letterforms feel compact in their internal spaces but occupy generous horizontal room, with steady vertical posture and a deliberate, headline-oriented rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often sharpen into tapered points, while joins and curves show a slightly chiseled, calligraphic tension. Counters are relatively tight in letters like a, e, and s, and round forms (O, C, G, 0) carry strong thick–thin modulation with crisp transitions.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and short-form text where its dense color and sculpted terminals become an asset. It can elevate magazine layouts, brand wordmarks, and premium packaging, and works well for attention-grabbing pull quotes or title treatments in editorial design.
The tone is assertive and editorial, balancing classical bookish cues with a contemporary, fashion-forward sharpness. Its flared details and high-contrast structure add drama and a sense of authority, making text feel curated and premium rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif authority with a more expressive, flared-stem personality, producing a distinctive silhouette that remains structured and legible. Its proportions and contrast suggest a focus on impactful display typography that still carries traditional refinement.
Uppercase forms read especially monumental, with the Q’s sweeping tail and the numerals’ tapered diagonals reinforcing the carved, display-like character. In paragraph settings the strong contrast and narrow apertures create a dark, textured color, favoring larger sizes where the internal details can breathe.
