A sculpted serif with strongly tapered, flared stroke endings and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show wedge-like terminals and sharp internal joins, creating a faceted, cut-in look in places (notably in diagonals and counters). Curves are full and weighty, while narrow apertures and angled cuts add a crisp rhythm across words. Overall spacing reads compact but not condensed, with sturdy verticals and lively, angular detailing that keeps large sizes crisp and graphic.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and branding where its high-contrast, flared construction can read cleanly and add character. It performs especially well in editorial and magazine contexts, fashion and lifestyle identities, and poster work that benefits from strong silhouettes and sharp detailing.
The font projects a bold, editorial confidence with a dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp cuts and flared endings evoke a classic, engraved sensibility while still feeling modern and attention-seeking. The tone is assertive and premium, suited to settings where impact and personality matter as much as readability.
The design appears intended as a high-impact serif for display typography, combining traditional serif structure with sculpted, flared terminals and angular cuts to create a distinctive, premium voice. Its emphasis on strong contrast and crisp terminals suggests a focus on headline presence and visual memorability.
Several glyphs exhibit distinctive diagonal slicing and pointed terminals that create strong silhouettes in headlines. Numerals and capitals maintain consistent weight and contrast, helping the design feel cohesive in display use, while the lowercase retains enough traditional structure to remain legible at larger text sizes.
