A high-contrast serif with strongly sculpted, flared stroke endings that feel incised rather than bracketed. Vertical stems are weighty and straight, while joins and terminals sharpen into wedge-like points and tapered beaks, creating a chiseled rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are compact and the overall texture is dark and punchy, with noticeable letter-to-letter width variation and crisp, angular detailing in diagonals and bowls.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titles, book covers, posters, and brand marks where its strong contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the dense color and sharp details suggest avoiding very small sizes or long passages where the angular terminals may become visually busy.
The tone is theatrical and editorial—confident, slightly severe, and fashion-forward. Its sharp, carved terminals and bold color give it a formal, authoritative presence with a hint of vintage headline flair.
The design appears intended to translate a carved/engraved, calligraphic serif sensibility into a bold display voice. It emphasizes sculptural terminals and high contrast to deliver impact and a refined, editorial character rather than quiet neutrality.
Uppercase forms read stately and display-oriented, while lowercase retains the same cut-stone terminal logic, producing a distinctive sparkle at word endings. Numerals echo the same wedge and flare motifs, keeping the set visually cohesive at large sizes.
