A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, wedge-like serifs that create a chiseled, high-fashion silhouette. Curves are taut and elliptical, with pointed joins and crisp terminals that often taper into triangular cuts, giving many glyphs a carved, inked look. The rhythm is assertive and compact in the lowercase, with sturdy stems, deep bowls, and distinctive notches in places like r, s, and g; the uppercase carries strong vertical emphasis and dramatic diagonals in letters such as N, V, W, and X. Numerals follow the same display logic, with angular entries/exits and bold, graphic counters that stay clear at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and display typography in magazines, fashion or culture editorial, and premium branding where bold, high-contrast letterforms are an asset. It can also work for posters and titles where its sculpted terminals and crisp serifs can be appreciated without size constraints.
The overall tone is confident and theatrical, balancing classical serif cues with a contemporary, stylized edge. It reads as premium and editorial, with a slightly eccentric, designed-for-impact character rather than a purely traditional book face.
The design appears intended as a modern display serif that amplifies contrast and sharp, wedge-like detailing to produce an upscale, attention-grabbing texture. Its stylized cuts and energetic diagonals suggest a goal of blending classic serif authority with a more decorative, contemporary attitude.
In the text sample the face maintains strong word shapes, but the sharp cuts and extreme modulation make it feel most at home in larger sizes. The pointed details and narrow internal apertures in some letters can create a dense texture, contributing to its poster-like presence.
