A high-contrast serif with a distinctly sculpted, flared construction: vertical stems swell and taper into wedge-like terminals, creating a carved, chiseled look. Serifs are sharp and often triangular, with noticeable bracketing in places and crisp junctions elsewhere. The rhythm is narrow and taut, with compact counters and pointed inner shapes that emphasize verticality. Curves (C, O, S) show strong thick–thin modulation and slightly pinched apertures, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) terminate in knife-like points. Numerals follow the same angular, wedge-terminal logic, reading firmly and display-forward.
Best suited to display applications where contrast and sharp terminals can read as intentional styling: headlines, magazine mastheads, posters, book or album covers, and premium branding. It can work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when set with generous size and spacing to keep the texture from becoming overly dense.
The overall tone is dramatic and authoritative, mixing classical serif cues with a theatrical, headline-ready sharpness. It feels editorial and fashion-adjacent, with a hint of vintage poster lettering—confident, slightly severe, and designed to command attention.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, memorable serif voice by combining classical proportions with flared, wedge-shaped terminals and strong contrast. The goal seems to be a refined but attention-grabbing texture that feels engraved and ceremonial, optimized for impact in larger sizes.
In text, the dense vertical strokes and pointed terminals create a strong dark color and pronounced texture, especially in tight settings. The lowercase shows traditional serif forms with emphatic terminals (notably on a, e, s, and t), reinforcing a crafted, display-oriented personality even when used in longer lines.
