A high-contrast serif with sturdy vertical stress, broad proportions, and prominent, wedge-like flared endings that read as pointed, blade-shaped serifs in many letters. The curves are full and weighty, while thin strokes snap to fine hairlines, creating a distinctly sculpted, cut-from-metal look. Spacing is generous and the overall rhythm is punchy, with strong silhouettes in capitals and round lowercases that hold dark color on the page.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, magazine and book covers, fashion and beauty branding, and high-end packaging where strong contrast and sharp terminals can shine. It can also work for short pull quotes, posters, and titling, but the pronounced hairlines and spiky serifs suggest avoiding very small text sizes or low-resolution reproduction.
This typeface projects a confident, editorial voice with a touch of theatrical flair. Its dramatic thick–thin rhythm and sharpened terminals feel assertive and refined, suggesting tradition but with a modern, high-impact attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum contrast and personality at display sizes, combining classic serif structure with aggressively flared, pointed terminals for extra bite. It aims to create a memorable typographic voice that feels premium and attention-grabbing while remaining formally upright and composed.
The numerals mirror the same high-contrast, flared construction, giving figures a stylized, display-forward presence. Lowercase forms show a traditional skeleton with compact joins and pronounced terminals, producing a dark, lively texture in continuous text.
