A display serif with sculpted, wedge-like serifs and pronounced flaring where stems terminate. The letterforms show stark thick–thin modulation with crisp, blade-like transitions and teardrop/triangular ink-trap-like cut-ins at joins and terminals that create a carved, high-impact silhouette. Counters are compact and often asymmetrically shaped, giving the face a lively rhythm; curves (O, C, S) are sharply modeled, and diagonals (V, W, X) end in pointed, tapered tips. The lowercase keeps a traditional structure with single-storey a and g, rounded dots, and a relatively straightforward, upright posture, while numerals and capitals retain the same dramatic contrast and flared finishing.
Best suited to headlines, editorial display, fashion and culture magazines, and high-impact posters where the contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can work for premium branding and packaging—especially for beauty, fragrance, jewelry, or boutique hospitality—when used at larger sizes and with ample whitespace.
The overall tone is opulent and assertive, mixing classical serif cues with a sharp, contemporary edge. Its strong contrast and sculptural terminals convey prestige and drama, with a slightly theatrical, fashion-forward feel that reads as deliberate and attention-seeking rather than understated.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, high-contrast display serif that feels both classical and modern, using flared stroke endings and sharply cut details to create memorability. It prioritizes striking wordmarks and editorial impact, emphasizing dramatic texture and sculpted forms over quiet, continuous reading.
In text samples, the dense blacks and narrow internal spaces make word shapes feel compact and punchy; the distinctive flared endings and cut-ins remain visible even in longer lines, adding texture and sparkle. The design’s personality is driven as much by the negative shapes at joins and terminals as by the heavy main strokes, so spacing and size will strongly influence how refined versus aggressive it appears.
