A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stems and prominent wedge-like terminals. The design pairs dense verticals with tapered hairlines, producing crisp, chiseled counters and a distinctly carved rhythm. Serifs are pointed and triangular rather than flat, and many joins end in sharp beaks or angled cuts that emphasize directionality. Proportions feel sturdy and display-oriented, with rounded letters (O, C) showing strong thick–thin modulation and tighter, more faceted interior shapes in letters like S and a.
Best suited to headlines, large typography, and short blocks where the dramatic contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It works well for magazine mastheads, fashion or culture editorial, branding marks, and packaging that aims for a premium, classic-yet-bold voice.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, with a refined, editorial polish. Its sharp wedges and pronounced contrast create a confident, slightly vintage formality that reads as premium and attention-seeking rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a display serif with a carved, flared construction—combining traditional serif cues with sharper, more graphic wedge terminals to create immediate impact and a distinctive silhouette.
In text, the strong contrast and pointed terminals create a lively sparkle and a distinctly angular texture, especially in sequences with repeated verticals. The numerals and capitals carry the same carved, wedge-driven logic, giving headings a consistent, emblematic presence.
