A display serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and sharp wedge-like serifs. Forms are strongly modeled with deep, triangular apertures and pronounced ink-trap-like notches where strokes meet, creating a carved, high-drama rhythm. Curves are broad and confident (notably in O, C, and G), while diagonals and joins show crisp, angular cut-ins that emphasize contrast and direction. Lowercase features sturdy, compact bowls and a relatively straightforward, upright construction, with distinctive terminals that taper into pointed wedges rather than bracketed serifs.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and short editorial lines where its dramatic contrast and carved details can be appreciated. It can also support branding and packaging that aims for a premium, fashion-forward presence, especially when used with generous whitespace.
The overall tone is bold and editorial, mixing elegance with a slightly aggressive, razor-cut edge. It evokes fashion and cultural publishing—confident, luxe, and attention-seeking—while the sharp internal cut-ins add a modern, stylized bite.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif display voice—maximizing impact through flared terminals, sculpted joins, and bold, high-contrast modeling. The consistent use of angular cut-ins suggests a deliberate strategy to keep heavy forms crisp and distinctive at large sizes.
Spacing and silhouettes feel optimized for large sizes, where the interior notches and flared terminals read as intentional detailing rather than texture noise. Numerals follow the same chiseled logic with strong curvature and sharp internal joins, reinforcing a cohesive, poster-ready voice.
