A sculpted display serif with pronounced contrast and flared, wedge-like stroke endings that create a chiseled silhouette. The design mixes broad, rounded bowls with tight, pointed apertures and crisp terminals, giving letters a carved, high-impact rhythm. Serifs read as sharp and triangular rather than bracketed slabs, and many joins swell into tapered flares, producing a lively modulation across stems and diagonals. Lowercase forms are compact with prominent descenders and occasional ball-like terminals (notably on g), while numerals show the same strong thick–thin pattern and angled cut-ins.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where its sharp serifs and sculpted contrast can read clearly. It will also work well for posters and high-impact packaging, especially in short lines or larger point sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and luxurious, combining classic serif authority with a more stylized, contemporary sharpness. Its crisp wedges and high-contrast sparkle convey drama and polish, making text feel editorial and fashion-forward rather than purely bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver a premium, attention-grabbing serif voice by pushing contrast and flared terminals for a carved, high-fashion look. It balances traditional serif structure with stylized wedges and angular shaping to stand out in display typography.
In text, the dark vertical strokes and sharp interior notches create strong word shapes and a distinctive texture at larger sizes. The letterforms favor impact over neutrality, with pronounced cut details that can become visually busy if set too small or tightly tracked.
