A sculpted display serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered joins. Stems swell into subtly flared terminals and compact, wedge-like serifs, creating a carved, faceted feel rather than purely hairline finishing. Counters are generally compact and the overall rhythm is energetic, with pointed apexes (A, V, W) and crisp diagonal cuts that emphasize direction and contrast. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with pronounced stroke modulation and a slightly calligraphic logic in the curves and entry/exit strokes; numerals follow the same dramatic contrast with strong, rounded bowls.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where high contrast and sculpted details can read cleanly. It should perform well in fashion/editorial layouts, premium branding, and poster or packaging typography that benefits from bold, dramatic letterforms.
The font reads confident and high-end, combining classic serif authority with a theatrical, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp cuts and sculptural flare give it a premium, editorial tone suited to attention-grabbing typography rather than quiet text color.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, high-contrast serif voice with a carved, flared-stem character that heightens impact at display sizes while retaining a classical editorial structure.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and tight counters create striking word shapes, especially in capitals; spacing appears designed for display sizes where the crisp details and flared endings remain clear. Curved letters (C, G, S, a, e) show smooth, controlled bowl shapes punctuated by pointed terminals that add bite to the silhouette.
