A sculptural serif with striking contrast and flared, tapering terminals that often finish in knife-like points. Stems are robust and upright, while curves and joins thin dramatically, creating a crisp, chiseled rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. Serifs and endings feel more incised than bracketed, with triangular wedges and hairline cuts that add tension in letters like A, K, V, W, X, and y. Proportions are slightly condensed in the caps with large, high-impact forms; lowercase remains readable with a conventional x-height and energetic, calligraphic detailing in a, g, e, and r. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing weighty verticals with delicate inner hairlines and sharp finishing strokes.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and flared terminals can project personality—magazine headlines, fashion and cultural editorial, brand marks, packaging titles, and large-format posters. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers where a refined but assertive voice is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and high-drama, combining editorial polish with a sharp, almost blade-cut sophistication. Its contrast and pointed detailing read as luxurious and fashion-forward, with a theatrical edge that feels designed to be noticed rather than to disappear into body text.
Likely designed to blend classical serif structure with an incised, flared finishing language that amplifies contrast and creates a premium, attention-grabbing texture. The emphasis appears to be on distinctive silhouettes and sharp terminal detailing for high-impact typography in larger sizes.
The font’s visual identity is driven by repeated wedge motifs and hairline incisions, giving counters and joins a carved, faceted look. In longer text, the strong thick–thin rhythm creates a lively texture, while the sharp terminals add sparkle and a slightly edgy refinement.
