A sculpted serif with pronounced stroke contrast and flared, wedge-like terminals that give verticals a chiseled, expanding finish. Serifs are sharp and energetic rather than flat, with noticeable bracketing in places and tapered joins that suggest a calligraphic model. The letters show a mix of broad, weighty stems and hairline connections, creating strong internal rhythm and deep counters; curves feel taut and controlled, and diagonals in V/W/X read crisp and angular. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with compact apertures and distinctive, weighted bowls (notably in a, e, g), while numerals carry the same high-contrast, display-oriented construction.
Best suited for headlines, large editorial typography, posters, book or album covers, and brand marks where contrast and sculpted serifs can read clearly. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but its sharp terminals and strong contrast are most effective when given ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is bold and ceremonious, leaning toward classic print sophistication with a touch of drama. Its sharp serifs and flared endings create a sense of authority and spectacle, evoking editorial headlines, formal branding, and vintage-inspired display typography.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display serif that blends classical letterform structure with flared, wedge-like endings to heighten drama and presence. Its construction prioritizes strong silhouette, striking contrast, and an editorial feel for prominent typographic moments.
At text sizes the heavy–hairline contrast and pointed terminals create a lively sparkle and strong texture, with punctuation and dots appearing prominent and crisp. The design favors impact and character over quiet neutrality, especially in dense settings where the wedge terminals become a defining motif.
