A sculpted serif with wedge-like, flaring terminals and pronounced stroke contrast that creates a cut-paper, chiseled feel. Serifs and joins often resolve into pointed, triangular shapes rather than bracketed curves, while bowls stay full and rounded, producing strong black mass and crisp counters. The rhythm is energetic and slightly irregular in a deliberate way: diagonals (V, W, X, Y) and angled joins show sharp, blade-like transitions, and several letters feature tapered notches that read as ink-trap-like cut-ins. Numerals and capitals are bold and stately, with broad curves and decisive, flared endings that keep the silhouette lively at display sizes.
This font is best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine covers, posters, pull quotes, and brand marks where its flared serifs and sharp transitions can be appreciated. It can work well for packaging and event collateral that calls for a bold, editorial look, and it pairs nicely with a restrained sans or a quieter text serif for supporting copy.
The overall tone is theatrical and upscale, balancing classical serif authority with a modern, fashion-forward edge. Its high-contrast, flared detailing gives it a dramatic, headline-ready voice that feels confident, slightly exotic, and attention-seeking without becoming ornamental.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a high-impact serif voice by combining classical proportions with flared, wedge-like terminals and crisp, cut-in details. The intent reads as creating a memorable, contemporary display serif that remains rooted in traditional serif structure while adding sharp, graphic sparkle for modern layouts.
The design’s personality comes from its consistent use of triangular terminals and angular cut-ins, which add sparkle and texture across words in the sample text. This produces strong word shapes and striking internal negative spaces, but also a busy surface that is most effective when given room to breathe (larger sizes and comfortable tracking).
