A sculptural serif with sharp, triangular wedge serifs and pronounced flaring where strokes terminate. Letterforms show strong thick–thin modulation and crisp joins, with compact bowls and pointed interior counters that create a chiseled, faceted look. The rhythm is punchy and display-oriented: capitals feel stately and tightly drawn, while lowercase combines firm verticals with angled cuts and occasional spur-like details that add texture without becoming ornate. Numerals follow the same high-impact contrast and wedge-ended logic, producing a consistent, graphic color at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display typography, posters, and book-cover titling where the sharp wedge serifs and high contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for premium branding and logotypes that want a classic foundation with a more assertive, modern cut.
The overall tone is editorial and high-fashion, combining classical serif cues with a dramatic, cut-stone sharpness. It reads confident and luxurious, with a slightly theatrical edge that makes headlines feel intentional and crafted rather than neutral.
The design appears intended as a contemporary display serif that merges classical proportions with flared, wedge-like finishing to heighten contrast and visual drama. Its consistent chiseled terminals and compact counters suggest a focus on striking silhouettes and impactful typographic color in larger sizes.
In setting, the strong internal notches and pointed counters can visually darken dense passages, especially where round forms stack (e.g., in words with repeated bowls). The energetic wedge terminals and flared endings give the face a distinctive sparkle in short lines and titling, while long paragraphs may feel heavy unless size and spacing are opened up.
