A sculpted display serif with striking stroke modulation and pronounced wedge-like serifs that flare from the stems. The letterforms combine crisp, knife-edged joins with rounded bowls, creating a tension between sharp geometry and smooth curves. Serifs are generally tapered and bracketed, with many terminals showing a slight diagonal shear that adds motion and bite. Proportions feel traditionally rooted yet deliberately stylized, with compact inner counters and confident verticals that produce dense, high-impact word shapes in text.
Best suited to large sizes where the flared serifs and sharp terminals can be appreciated—editorial headlines, magazine mastheads, posters, and premium branding. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes where a strong, high-fashion tone is desired, but the dense contrast and stylized terminals make it less ideal for long, small-size reading.
The overall tone is theatrical and upscale, projecting confidence and polish. Its sharp, flared details and dramatic modulation give it a fashion/editorial sensibility, while the classic serif structure keeps it anchored and authoritative. The texture reads as bold and ceremonial, suited to statements rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, attention-grabbing take on a classic serif: combining traditional proportions with flared, razor-like finishing to create a distinctive display voice. It prioritizes impact, elegance, and a carved, crafted surface over invisibility, aiming for memorable titles and brand moments.
The capitals carry a strong inscriptional energy, especially in letters with pointed apexes and deep interior notches. Curved characters (C, G, S, O, Q, 8, 9) emphasize a carved, calligraphic swing, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) feel taut and angular. Numerals appear designed to match the same sharp, flared finishing, maintaining a consistent, emphatic rhythm alongside the letters.
