A high-contrast serif with pronounced flare at stroke endings and crisp, tapered terminals that create a carved, wedge-like silhouette. Stems are heavy and straight, while joins and curves transition quickly into thin hairlines, producing a sharp light–dark rhythm. Serifs read as triangular and directional rather than bracketed, giving counters a faceted, cut-paper feel. Uppercase forms are sturdy and broad, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with compact bowls and firm vertical emphasis, keeping text dense and graphic at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, magazine cover lines, and short editorial blocks where contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can add a distinctive voice to branding, packaging, and promotional design that needs a classic-yet-stylized serif presence.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, combining classic serif cues with a modern, stylized sharpness. It feels editorial and fashion-forward, with a slightly ornamental, poster-ready energy that reads as confident and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through pronounced flaring and chiseled terminals, prioritizing impact, silhouette, and rhythmic contrast. Its forms seem tuned for display typography—strong word shapes, dramatic stroke modulation, and a sculptural finish that stands out in titles and statements.
The diagonals and curved letters show conspicuous thinning toward terminals, and several glyphs (notably in the S-curve and diagonals) emphasize angular cut-ins that heighten contrast and visual tension. Numerals follow the same flared, high-contrast logic, making them suitable for prominent headlines and titling rather than quiet running text.
