A sculptural serif with pronounced thick–thin modeling and sharply tapered, wedge-like terminals. Strokes flare into triangular serifs and pointed joins, creating a chiseled, high-contrast rhythm that reads as both calligraphic and engraved. Counters tend to be compact and the overall texture is dark, with strong vertical presence and dynamic diagonals; many letters show notched or pinched transitions where strokes meet, emphasizing tension and sparkle in display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same bold, faceted construction, producing a cohesive, poster-forward color on the page.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short-form copy where its carved contrast and wedge serifs can be appreciated. It works especially well for editorial design, event posters, and branding systems that want a classic serif voice with heightened drama.
The typeface conveys a confident, dramatic tone with a fashion/editorial edge. Its sharp terminals and carved shapes feel classic and ceremonial, while the exaggerated contrast adds a sense of luxury and intensity.
The design appears intended as a display serif that amplifies traditional forms through sharp, wedge-like serifs and assertive contrast, aiming for a luxurious, attention-grabbing presence in large sizes.
In text settings the heavy color and intricate stroke transitions can reduce internal openness, so spacing and size will strongly affect clarity. The most distinctive character comes from the pointed, flared terminals and the repeated triangular motifs across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
