This typeface is a heavy, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke terminals that read like wedge serifs rather than flat slabs. Stems swell into tapered endings and the joins feel carved, giving many letters a chiseled, almost calligraphic silhouette. Curves are full and rounded (notably in O/Q/C), while counters stay relatively open for the weight. The lowercase shows a sturdy, compact rhythm with a prominent i/j dot, and several characters feature sharp internal notches and pointed spur-like details that add bite at corners and diagonals. Numerals are similarly bold and sculptural, with strong thick–thin transitions and distinctive, display-oriented forms.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and branding where a bold, high-contrast serif can carry the composition. It works particularly well in editorial and fashion contexts, as well as on packaging and signage that benefits from a sculpted, premium voice.
The overall tone is assertive and refined at once—combining old-style elegance with a punchy, poster-ready presence. Its dramatic contrast and flared finishing give it a formal, fashion-forward feel, while the cut-in shapes and sharp accents introduce a slightly theatrical, attention-grabbing edge.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif tradition through exaggerated weight and contrast, using flared terminals and carved details to create a distinctive, logo-friendly display texture. It aims for impact without abandoning typographic formality, balancing refinement with strong visual presence.
In text settings the dense color is consistent, but the sharp notches and narrow inner apertures in some letters become more prominent, reinforcing a display-first personality. The design rewards generous sizing and spacing, where the carved details and thick–thin modulation can read cleanly.
