A sculpted serif with heavy, poster-like weight and sharp thick–thin modulation. Strokes often taper into flared, wedge-like terminals, and many joints show soft bracketing that makes the shapes feel carved rather than mechanical. Counters are compact and the internal whites create a strong rhythm, especially in rounded letters where thick vertical masses contrast with thin, pointed hairline details. The lowercase shows distinctive, lively construction—noticeable teardrop/ball-like terminals (e.g., on g, j, r) and occasional diagonal stress that adds movement while staying firmly upright overall.
Best suited for headlines, large-scale typography, and short editorial passages where its distinctive contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It works well for magazine titles, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and event or cultural posters. For body text, it will be most effective in larger sizes and with generous spacing to preserve the finer cuts.
The overall tone is opulent and editorial, combining classic serif cues with a bold, stylized edge. It reads as confident and dramatic—suited to attention-grabbing typography that still feels rooted in traditional letterforms. The high-contrast details and sculpted terminals suggest a fashion-forward, boutique sensibility rather than a purely bookish one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif foundation with amplified contrast and expressive, flared terminals for contemporary display use. It prioritizes striking texture and personality—especially in the lowercase—while keeping recognizable, conventional proportions for legibility in headline and editorial contexts.
In text settings the dense black shapes create a strong color on the page, while the thin interior cuts and tapered terminals can become delicate at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals carry the same carved, high-contrast logic, with eye-catching details in figures like 2, 3, 5, and 7 that emphasize the display character.
