This serif shows pronounced wedge-like serifs and flared, tapering strokes that create a chiseled, incised feel rather than a purely bracketed book face. Curves are built from broad, smooth arcs that end in sharp, pointed terminals, with many bowls and joins appearing subtly “pinched” where strokes narrow. Uppercase forms feel wide and sculptural with ample interior space, while the lowercase keeps open apertures and a clear, upright rhythm. Numerals follow the same carved, display-oriented construction, with crisp joins and distinctive tapered endings.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display, and brand identities where the sculpted serif details can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short subheads, pull quotes, and packaging copy that benefits from a refined, high-impact serif texture.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, balancing classic serif heritage with a contemporary, high-fashion edge. Its sharp terminals and flared details add a sense of luxury and intention, making the texture feel bold and editorial rather than quiet or purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant display serif with a distinctive carved/wedge construction—classic in skeleton but stylized in terminals and stroke modulation to stand out in contemporary editorial and branding contexts.
In the text sample, the face creates a lively black-on-white pattern driven by repeated taper points and wedge endings, giving lines a subtly sparkling texture. The capitals and lowercase share consistent flare logic, and rounded letters (like O/C/G) emphasize the font’s signature pinched terminals and sculpted counters.
