This typeface is a sculpted display serif with sharply tapered hairlines and strong, swelling strokes that flare into wedge-like terminals. Letterforms show pronounced contrast and a dynamic, chiseled rhythm, with many strokes finishing in pointed, beak-like ends rather than flat serifs. Counters are relatively tight and the joins feel crisp, giving the glyphs a compact, high-impact presence. Curves (C, G, S, O) are smooth but cut with angular inflections, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) read sharp and blade-like; figures follow the same dramatic modulation and carved terminals.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and short editorial passages where its contrast and flared terminals can stay clean and intentional. It also works well for luxury branding, beauty/fashion applications, and premium packaging where a carved, high-drama serif can carry the visual identity.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, combining classic serif refinement with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its flared endings and cut-in details suggest a crafted, editorial sensibility—confident, premium, and slightly baroque without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical, high-contrast serif by exaggerating tapering hairlines and flared endings for maximum impact. It aims to feel both traditional and incisive—built for display settings that benefit from a strong, sculptural typographic voice.
The uppercase set feels especially monumental and poster-ready, while the lowercase maintains the same high-contrast logic with tight apertures and decisive terminals. In text, the strong vertical emphasis and crisp finishing details create a lively texture that rewards generous sizes and spacing.
