A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings that read as wedge-like serifs rather than flat slabs. Thick verticals dominate while hairlines are extremely thin, creating a crisp, sparkling texture and a strong vertical rhythm in text. Curves are generously rounded but tightened by sharp, cut-in notches and pointed joins, giving counters a faceted, chiseled feel. Proportions lean toward display: compact apertures, assertive capitals, and numerals with pronounced contrast and tapered terminals that emphasize a refined, engraved silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other short-to-medium display settings where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for high-end branding and packaging that benefit from a refined, sculptural serif presence, and for editorial layouts where a dramatic typographic voice is desired.
The overall tone feels elegant and theatrical, pairing classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its stark contrast and knife-edge details convey luxury and drama, with a slightly vintage, print-era sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious display serif with a flared, carved finish—combining classical proportions with heightened contrast and crisp, modern sharpness to create strong impact in larger sizes.
Diagonal forms (such as in V, W, X, Y) show strong tapering and pointed vertices, which increases sparkle but can create a busy texture at smaller sizes. The lowercase maintains a steady rhythm, while distinctive, angled terminals and ink-trap-like cut-ins add character and help separate joins in dense settings.
