A sculptural display serif with sharply flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than mechanically drawn. The letterforms show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with crisp hairlines meeting dense, rounded bowls and strong vertical emphasis. Curves are taut and polished, with distinctive teardrop-like apertures and inward notches in several glyphs, giving counters a tight, graphic rhythm. Uppercase proportions are commanding and compact, while the lowercase maintains a steady x-height with stout, weighty joins and firmly articulated terminals.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, cover lines, posters, and short featured copy where its contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for branding and packaging that want a premium, fashion-forward impression, especially when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone is bold and editorial—luxurious, assertive, and slightly theatrical. Its dramatic contrast and stylized terminals evoke high-fashion headlines and classic print prestige, while the sculpted details add a contemporary edge. The texture reads as confident and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant yet forceful display serif: traditional high-contrast construction energized by flared terminals and sculpted internal shapes. The goal seems to be strong shelf/cover impact with a refined, editorial finish and recognizable letterform personality.
In text settings the strong modulation creates a lively, sparkling surface, but the sharp internal notches and tight apertures can make smaller sizes feel dense. Numerals match the letterforms’ heavy presence and share the same carved, flared finishing, producing a cohesive headline palette.
