This typeface is a high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than bracketed. Stems transition from hairline connections into broad, swelling verticals, creating a strong thick–thin rhythm and a distinctly sculpted silhouette. Curves are compact and tense, with tight apertures and pointed joins in letters like K, R, and W; the overall texture is bold and inky with crisp edges. Numerals and capitals appear slightly more display-oriented, with lively width modulation and dramatic tapering in diagonals and curved strokes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and editorial typography, posters, and brand marks where contrast and sculptural details can be appreciated. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but longer passages will benefit from generous leading and careful tracking to keep the dense texture from feeling crowded.
The overall tone is theatrical and editorial, combining classical serif cues with a sharper, more fashion-forward edge. Its flared terminals and stark contrast convey luxury and confidence, while the angular details add a sense of modern drama and attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a striking, contemporary take on a classical high-contrast serif by using flared terminals and sharpened joins for extra drama. It prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and bold typographic presence over quiet neutrality, aiming for memorable, premium-facing display typography.
In text settings the type creates a strong stripe pattern from dominant verticals and dark bowls, so spacing and line length will noticeably affect color. The ampersand and punctuation match the same sharp, tapered language, reinforcing a cohesive, high-impact display voice.
