A high-contrast display serif with sculpted, wedge-like terminals and a subtly flared stem treatment that gives strokes a carved, chiseled feel. Serifs are sharp and triangular, with pointed joins and occasional angled cuts that emphasize a faceted geometry. Curves (C, G, O, S) show strong thick–thin transitions and clean, taut bowls, while verticals feel sturdy and slightly expanding into terminals. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with teardrop/ball-like finishing in places and a distinctly angular ‘k’ and ‘v/w’ construction; figures are similarly high-contrast with prominent diagonal cuts and crisp endings.
Best suited to headlines, editorial typography, and brand marks that benefit from high contrast and a sculptural serif voice. It can work well for fashion, luxury, and cultural posters, as well as packaging where a dramatic, refined presence is desired; for long text, it’s likely most comfortable in short blocks or pull quotes at ample size.
The overall tone is commanding and elegant, mixing classical serif formality with a more theatrical, fashion-forward sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and knife-edge terminals read as premium, attention-grabbing, and slightly gothic in texture without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold editorial impact through extreme contrast and sharply flared, wedge-like terminals, combining classical serif proportions with a more carved, graphic finish for modern display settings.
Spacing in the sample text appears generous enough for headlines, with strong silhouette differentiation between letters. The design relies heavily on pointed terminals and angled stress cues, so it reads most confidently at larger sizes where the fine hairlines and sharp tips can stay clean.
