A heavy, display-oriented roman with extreme thick–thin modulation and broad proportions. Vertical stems read as weighty slabs while joins and hairlines taper sharply, creating a carved, flared-stroke feel rather than true bracketed serifs. Counters are generous and often oval, with crisp terminals and pronounced tapering on arms and diagonals; curves show a smooth, controlled swelling-and-thinning rhythm. The lowercase includes a two-storey "g" with a prominent ear, a single-storey "a" with a teardrop-like bowl, and compact, sturdy forms that keep the set cohesive at large sizes. Numerals follow the same sculpted contrast, with open, rounded bowls in 8/9 and strong vertical stress.
Best suited to headlines, covers, and short statements where its contrast and tapering details can be appreciated. It works well for magazine and fashion layouts, brand marks, and premium packaging, and can be effective for dramatic pull quotes or titling when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is high-impact and theatrical, combining refinement with assertiveness. The sharp modulation and flared endings lend an editorial, fashion-forward voice that feels premium and slightly formal, while the wide stance keeps it bold and poster-ready.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast display voice with a carved, flared-stroke character—pairing a classic, editorial sensibility with contemporary width and punch for attention-grabbing typography.
In text samples the heavy verticals can visually dominate, and the finest hairlines and tapered joins become key details that benefit from ample size and clean reproduction. The design’s rhythm relies on strong vertical stress and tapered terminals, giving words a distinctive, sculptural texture.
