A display-oriented serif with sharply tapered strokes and sculpted, wedge-like terminals that create a crisp, cut-paper impression. The contrast is expressed less through classic thick–thin modulation and more through pointed joins, thinning entry/exit strokes, and abrupt narrowing at terminals. Uppercase forms feel tall and refined with generous counters, while lowercase shows compact, stylized constructions and occasional asymmetrical details (notably in curved letters). Numerals follow the same carved aesthetic, with distinctive, angular features and thin connecting strokes that emphasize a sleek rhythm in large sizes.
Best suited for headlines, magazine display typography, brand marks, and packaging where its crisp wedge terminals and sculpted curves can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or posters when set with comfortable tracking and ample size to preserve the fine tapered details.
The overall tone is polished and high-fashion, mixing classic serif proportions with a distinctly decorative, razor-edged finish. It reads as confident and boutique—suited to luxury, art, or culture contexts where a bit of drama is desirable without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif voice through a modern, sharpened terminal treatment, prioritizing visual character and editorial presence. Its consistent carved detailing across caps, lowercase, and figures suggests a cohesive display system aimed at distinctive branding and high-impact typography.
The sharp terminals and fine tapering details are visually prominent in the sample text, where they add sparkle and a slightly edgy texture to word shapes. Spacing appears fairly open for a display serif, helping the pointed details stay legible at larger settings, while the more stylized lowercase suggests it is happiest in headlines rather than extended small text.
