A sculpted display serif with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and hairline connections, paired with flared, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms are relatively broad with generous counters and a steady upright stance. Serifs are sharp and tapered rather than slabby, and many joins feel carved, with triangular bracketing that creates a faceted rhythm. Curves (C, O, S) are smooth and weighty on the verticals, while diagonals (V, W, X) keep fine, knife-like apexes. Numerals echo the same bold/fineline interplay, with compact bowls and crisp terminal cuts.
Best suited to headlines, fashion or culture editorial, brand marks, and high-impact packaging where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or title treatments, especially when set with ample size and breathing room.
The overall tone is assertive and refined, combining fashion-editorial polish with a slightly theatrical, poster-ready presence. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast read as premium and attention-grabbing, with a classic sensibility rather than a casual or playful one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, using flared terminals and sharp, chiseled details to amplify drama and sophistication in display typography.
Lowercase forms lean toward a display cadence: the single-storey a and g, strong ball-like punctuation on i/j, and the pronounced flare at stroke ends create a distinctive texture. Spacing appears built for impactful setting, and the contrast can cause hairlines to visually recede at smaller sizes while remaining striking in larger headlines.
