A decorative serif with crisp, flared wedge serifs and sharply tapered terminals that create a sculpted, cut-paper feel. Stems remain relatively steady while curves and joins pinch into fine points, producing a lively, faceted rhythm through counters and apertures. The proportions lean expansive with generous horizontal shapes, and the overall texture alternates between sturdy verticals and knife-like diagonals, giving letters a distinctive, stylized silhouette. Numerals and capitals echo the same chiseled, triangular finishing, maintaining consistent sharpness across the set.
Best suited to display work such as magazine headlines, book covers, poster typography, and brand marks where a distinctive serif voice is needed. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes, particularly in high-contrast layouts where its sharp terminals and flared serifs become a focal point.
The tone is editorial and dramatic, blending classical serif formality with a stylized, fashion-forward edge. It reads as refined and intentional rather than neutral, with a theatrical sharpness that can feel luxurious or slightly gothic depending on context.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif structure with emphatic wedge-like serifs and pointed, sculptural terminals, prioritizing personality and visual rhythm over neutrality. Its forms suggest a goal of delivering a premium, attention-getting texture for display typography while keeping the underlying letterforms recognizable.
In text, the pointed terminals and tight joins add strong character and visual sparkle, especially in diagonals and curved letters. The design’s distinct finishing makes it most effective when given room to breathe, where its angular details and flared serifs can remain clear.
