A very heavy, high-impact serif with sharply sculpted, high-contrast forms and pronounced wedge-like flaring at stroke terminals. The design relies on strong verticals, broad curves, and strategically placed cut-ins that create bright internal notches and segmented counters, giving many letters a carved, stencil-like texture without becoming fully disconnected. Serifs and terminals often taper into pointed, triangular tips, while bowls and rounds are generous and crisp, producing a bold rhythm that reads as more ornamental than text-driven. Numerals follow the same carved, high-contrast logic, with striking internal shaping that makes them feel emblematic and poster-ready.
Best suited for short, prominent typography such as headlines, poster titles, brand marks, packaging, and magazine or lookbook displays. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers where its sculptural detailing has room to breathe and remain legible.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, with a fashion/editorial kind of drama and a hint of vintage show-card flair. The sharp flares and sculpted cut-ins add a luxurious, attention-seeking character that feels ceremonial and headline-oriented rather than neutral or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence through sculpted contrast and flared, pointed terminals, using carved internal shaping to create a signature texture. It prioritizes expressive display impact and distinctive letterforms over quiet readability, aiming to stand out in bold, graphic compositions.
The distinctive internal notches and wedge terminals create strong identity at large sizes but can visually busy up in dense settings. Round letters (like O/C/G) and diagonals (like V/W/X) show the most pronounced carved effects, giving the type a rhythmic play of black and white that feels intentionally stylized.
