A crisp display serif with sharply carved, wedge-like terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are heavy and vertical, while joins and endings taper into pointed, triangular cuts that create a faceted, chiseled rhythm across the alphabet. Bowls and counters stay fairly open for the weight, and the design leans on strong verticality with compact, high-impact letterforms. Lowercase shows sturdy proportions with noticeable notches and sharp terminals, and numerals follow the same sculpted, high-contrast logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, and brand marks where its sharp terminals and contrast can read as intentional styling. It can also work for short, bold blocks of copy—pull quotes, titles, and packaging callouts—where the dense texture adds punch without needing additional ornament.
The overall tone is dramatic and editorial, mixing classic sophistication with a slightly aggressive, cut-stone sharpness. It reads as premium and attention-grabbing, suited to contexts where a sense of fashion, authority, or theatrical contrast is desired.
Likely designed as an impact-forward serif for contemporary editorial and branding use, using high contrast and wedge-cut terminals to deliver a distinctive, memorable silhouette. The intent seems to balance classic serif structure with a modern, sculptural finishing style that stands out at display sizes.
Distinctive wedge cuts appear consistently on diagonals and curves, giving the font a signature ‘sliced’ finish that remains visible even in dense text. The texture in paragraphs is dark and assertive, with strong vertical strokes creating a confident, poster-like color on the page.
