This typeface is a display serif with sculpted, flaring stems and pronounced wedge-like terminals that create a carved, chiseled silhouette. Strokes show strong modulation, with thick verticals and hairline-like joins and notches that introduce crisp interior cuts. The letterforms are broad and assertive, with round characters built from alternating heavy masses and narrow incisions, producing a striking light–dark rhythm. Counters tend to be tight and geometric, and joins often resolve into pointed wedges rather than bracketed transitions, giving the overall texture a sharp, faceted finish.
Best suited to large sizes where the sharp notches, flares, and contrast can be appreciated—headlines, poster titles, editorial display, brand marks, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, but the dense blackness and tight counters suggest avoiding long passages at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, mixing classic serif cues with a stylized, almost poster-like sharpness. Its contrast and flared endings read as fashion-forward and luxurious, while the crisp cuts add a slightly gothic or noir edge. The effect is confident and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or text-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through sculptural contrast and flared, wedge-like endings, echoing engraved or stone-cut letterforms while staying contemporary. Its wide stance and high-contrast rhythm aim to create memorable word shapes and a strong, fashion/editorial presence.
In the sample text, the dense weight and tight internal cuts create a strong patterning across lines, with distinctive silhouettes in letters like G, Q, S, and g. Numerals follow the same sculptural logic, with prominent wedge forms and high contrast that keeps the set visually cohesive.
