A high-contrast serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and sharp, chiseled joins that create a sculptural, cut-paper look. Strokes transition abruptly from thick to hairline, with pointed beaks and triangular notches appearing at many entry/exit points (notably in diagonals and curves), giving the contours a lively, carved rhythm. The capitals are broad and commanding with crisp internal apertures and tightly controlled curves, while the lowercase is compact and weighty with distinctive, blade-like terminals and a slightly angular, calligraphy-informed modulation.
Best suited for headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and brand marks where the sharp flares and strong contrast can be appreciated. It will also work well on posters, packaging, and cultural/event graphics that benefit from a bold, high-style serif voice.
The overall tone is dramatic and fashion-forward, balancing classical serif authority with a modern, slightly edgy sharpness. It reads as confident and premium, with an attention-grabbing texture that feels suited to display typography rather than quiet, utilitarian settings.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in display settings by combining classical serif proportions with distinctive flared terminals and incisive detailing. Its intent is to create a memorable, premium typographic identity with a dramatic, contemporary edge.
The design’s most recognizable signature is the recurring triangular flare and notch motif, which creates strong silhouette character and a dark, rhythmic text color at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, sculpted logic, maintaining a cohesive, editorial display presence across letters and figures.
