This typeface pairs heavy verticals with razor-thin hairlines and sharply tapered, wedge-like serif forms. Strokes frequently flare into pointed terminals, creating a carved, faceted look rather than flat slab endings. Round letters show pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, controlled curves, while diagonals and joins stay angular and tightly drawn. Lowercase forms are compact with sturdy stems and small counters, giving dense texture in paragraphs; the numerals and capitals maintain a similarly sculpted, high-impact rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display settings, pull quotes, and branding where sharp contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can work for short text blocks in high-quality editorial layouts, but its intense contrast and tight counters make it most effective when given space and size.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, balancing classic serif authority with a distinctly stylized, blade-sharp finish. It reads as luxe and editorial, with a hint of vintage display drama that feels suited to high-contrast black-on-white settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a premium, attention-grabbing serif voice by exaggerating contrast and shaping serifs into flared, pointed terminals. The goal seems to be a distinctive display serif that still retains a classical structure for legibility in prominent typographic roles.
Details like the pointed apex on A, the knife-like spur behavior on letters such as K, N, and x, and the pronounced contrast in S and g emphasize a deliberate, decorative construction. The density of the lowercase and the tight internal shapes suggest it will look most comfortable with generous tracking and line spacing at larger sizes.
