A sculptural display serif with strong thick–thin contrast and pronounced flaring where stems transition into terminals and serifs. Forms feel carved rather than written: many stroke endings narrow to sharp points or wedge-like feet, and joins create crisp, angular notches. Counters are compact against the heavy stroke weight, while round letters keep a broad, open bowl shape that emphasizes the contrast. Overall spacing and proportions read generously across the alphabet, giving a confident, billboard-like rhythm in text settings.
This design is best suited to display use such as headlines, magazine covers, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and branding where a bold, sculpted serif voice is desired. It can work for short pull quotes or hero text in web and print, but its dense, high-contrast detailing is most effective when given ample size and breathing room.
The font projects a dramatic, high-fashion tone with a refined, slightly theatrical edge. Its sharp tapers and flared endings suggest luxury editorial styling—bold, attention-grabbing, and intentionally stylized rather than neutral.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact through contrast and flared, wedge-like finishing, combining classical serif cues with a more stylized, carved geometry. The intention seems to be a distinctive display face that reads as premium and expressive while remaining upright and structured.
Uppercase construction is especially declarative, with prominent wedge serifs and crisp internal cuts that create distinctive silhouettes. Lowercase maintains a similarly sculpted feel, with strong entry/exit shaping and tight counters that add texture in longer lines. Numerals echo the same flared, tapered logic, keeping the set visually cohesive.
