A sculpted display serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering terminals. Strokes flare into wedge-like endings rather than finishing with blunt slabs, creating a carved, chiseled feel. Serifs are sharp and angular with subtle bracketing and a slightly calligraphic tension through curves and joins. Proportions show relatively narrow counters and a strong vertical emphasis, while letter widths vary noticeably—especially in capitals like M/W versus round forms—producing a lively rhythm. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and pointed finishing strokes.
Best suited to large-scale applications where contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated: magazine and web editorials, fashion/beauty headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and premium brand identities. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers where a bold, elegant voice is desired.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical: polished, high-end, and attention-grabbing. Its sharp flares and dramatic contrast evoke fashion mastheads and contemporary editorial typography, with a classic undercurrent that reads formal and confident rather than playful.
Likely designed as a statement serif that combines classical high-contrast construction with modern, flared finishing strokes to maximize impact. The goal appears to be a luxurious, editorial look with strong silhouette clarity and a distinctive, carved terminal treatment.
In text, the heavy darks and thin hairlines create striking texture and strong word shapes, but the finest strokes can feel delicate at smaller sizes. Round letters (C, O, Q) and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) emphasize the font’s sharp, blade-like terminals, reinforcing a distinctive, stylized personality.
