A high-contrast serif with broad proportions and sculpted, flaring stroke endings. Vertical stems read as heavy and steady while hairlines snap to sharp, wedge-like serifs and pointed joins, creating a crisp black–white rhythm. Many joins and counters show small notches and cut-ins that feel like deliberate ink-trap shaping, and several letters (notably the diagonals and crossed forms) use tapered, blade-like arms. The lowercase is compact and weighty with a double-storey a, a looped g, and a tall t; numerals are similarly bold, with angular cuts and open apertures that keep the forms from clogging at display sizes.
Best suited to large sizes where the sharp hairlines, flared endings, and carved joins can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and culture editorial, posters, and distinctive brand marks. It can also work for short deck copy or pull quotes when you want a dense, dramatic typographic voice.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical: elegant in its contrast, but also slightly mischievous due to the sharp wedges, carved details, and energetic diagonals. It evokes contemporary editorial styling with a nod to vintage poster and magazine typography—luxurious, confident, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to fuse classical serif structure with stylized, flaring terminals and purposeful cut-ins to maximize contrast and personality. The goal reads as strong display presence: a refined silhouette that still feels bespoke and graphic, optimized for impactful titles and branding rather than neutral body text.
In text samples the dense color and sharp internal cut-ins create a lively texture, especially around r, s, e, and k where the terminals and joins introduce distinctive bite-like details. Spacing appears tuned for display impact rather than quiet paragraph reading, with strong silhouettes and pronounced entry/exit strokes that can add character in headlines.
