A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply flared, wedge-like serifs. Curves are generously rounded and bowl shapes feel slightly pinched where strokes transition, creating a carved, ink-trap-like look in counters and joins. The rhythm is assertive and display-forward, with broad capitals, compact inner apertures, and crisp tapering into terminals that adds sparkle at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and large-scale editorial typography where the high-contrast strokes and flared serifs can be appreciated. It also works well for branding and packaging that needs a premium, attention-grabbing voice, and for posters or titles where strong silhouettes carry from a distance.
The tone is bold and editorial, with a refined but dramatic presence reminiscent of fashion mastheads and high-contrast print typography. Its angular wedges and carved interiors give it a slightly theatrical, vintage-leaning sophistication rather than a purely minimalist modern feel.
The design appears intended as a statement serif that blends classical high-contrast structure with more sculptural, wedge-shaped detailing to create memorable wordmarks and impactful display text.
Uppercase forms read particularly strong and iconic, while the lowercase keeps a lively texture through sharp entry/exit strokes and tightly shaped counters. Numerals follow the same carved contrast, producing striking silhouettes that prioritize character and impact over neutrality.
