A very heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced wedge-like serifs and tapered joins that create a carved, sculptural feel. Strokes alternate between broad, ink-trap-free masses and razor-thin hairlines, producing crisp internal counters and a punchy page color. Terminals often come to sharp points or small ball-like ends, and several letters show flared verticals and angled cuts that emphasize a chiseled rhythm. Proportions feel moderately condensed in many capitals, while round letters maintain generous bowls; numerals are sturdy with bold stems and thin connecting strokes, matching the display-forward texture.
Best suited for headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks where strong contrast and sculptural serif details can be appreciated. It also fits premium packaging and event collateral that benefits from a dramatic, high-impact typographic voice.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, balancing classical serif cues with a stylized, almost engraved sharpness. It reads as upscale and attention-seeking, with a fashion/editorial attitude that feels curated rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a statement display serif: a bold, high-contrast construction with sharpened wedge serifs and stylized terminals to deliver editorial authority and visual drama in large-format settings.
In the sample text, the extreme contrast and fine hairlines create striking word shapes at large sizes, but also introduce delicate details that can visually shimmer in dense lines. The uppercase set feels particularly monumental, while the lowercase adds personality through distinctive terminals and tight, high-contrast joins.
