A sculptural serif with pronounced contrast cues and tightly tapered, wedge-like serifs that often end in sharp points. Strokes alternate between stout vertical stems and thinner connecting strokes, creating a faceted, cut-paper rhythm rather than purely calligraphic modulation. Bowls and counters are generous and rounded, while joins and terminals are crisp and angular, giving many letters a chiseled, incised look. Uppercase forms feel stately and wide-set, and the lowercase balances sturdy stems with compact, slightly spurred details; overall spacing reads even, with bold silhouettes and clean interior whitespace.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titling, posters, and brand marks where its sharp, sculpted details can read clearly. It can also work for premium packaging and short editorial decks, especially when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing to let the distinctive terminals breathe.
The font conveys an editorial, fashion-forward tone—confident, refined, and slightly theatrical. Its sharp terminals and carved contrasts suggest luxury and display sophistication, while the quirky wedge cuts add a contemporary, design-led edge.
Likely designed as a high-impact display serif that blends classical proportions with decorative, incised terminal work to create a memorable silhouette. The goal appears to be strong headline presence with a luxury/editorial sensibility and a distinctive carved texture.
The design’s signature is the repeated use of pointed wedge terminals and thin hairline cut-ins that create visual sparkle at large sizes. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with strong vertical presence and crisp, angled details that keep them consistent with the letterforms.
