A sculpted serif display with strongly modulated strokes and pronounced flare at many terminals. The letterforms alternate between thick, almost poster-like vertical masses and razor-thin hairlines, with frequent cut-in notches that create an ink-trap-like rhythm. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like rather than blocky, and several joins terminate in pointed corners or tapered beaks. Counters are compact and the overall texture is dense, giving headlines a packed, high-impact silhouette.
Best suited to large-scale settings such as magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, title cards, and bold brand marks where its cut-in terminals and contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging and short pull quotes, but its dense texture suggests using generous tracking and avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The tone is theatrical and editorial, mixing luxury-fashion polish with a slightly aggressive, poster-era punch. Its crisp wedges and dramatic contrast read as confident and attention-seeking, with a subtle Art Deco flavor from the geometric cuts and stylized terminals.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through contrast, flare, and sculpted negative space, producing a distinctive, stylish voice for display typography. The consistent use of tapered endings and carved-in joins suggests a focus on creating memorable silhouettes and a dramatic page presence.
Uppercase shapes lean on strong vertical emphasis, while several lowercase forms introduce more idiosyncratic details and asymmetry, keeping the line lively. Numerals follow the same cut-and-flare logic, with strong black shapes broken by hairline apertures and sharp terminals that maintain a cohesive voice across the set.
