A display serif with sharply tapered, flared stroke endings and pronounced wedge-like terminals that read as cut or chiseled. The letterforms show strong thick–thin modulation, with broad verticals and hairline connections that create crisp internal counters and a high-contrast rhythm. Serifs and terminals often resolve into pointed triangles, giving many joins (notably in diagonals and crotches) a faceted, angular character. Overall proportions feel compact and sturdy, with round letters kept tight and vertical strokes carrying most of the visual weight.
Best suited for large sizes where the flared terminals and hairline contrasts can read cleanly—headlines, editorial titling, posters, book covers, and brand marks. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging titles where a dramatic, crafted serif texture is desired, rather than for long passages of small body text.
The tone is assertive and theatrical, mixing classical serif structure with a more stylized, edgy finish. Its sharp wedges and high contrast suggest a refined but dramatic voice—suited to statements that want to feel curated, premium, and slightly gothic or cinematic rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing serif voice by combining classical proportions with sharply flared, wedge-cut endings and intense contrast. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and display impact, aiming for an upscale, vintage-leaning feel with a modern, graphic edge.
In text settings the heavy vertical emphasis and frequent pointed terminals create a lively texture and distinctive word shapes, especially in all caps. The numerals follow the same cut-terminal language, maintaining a cohesive, poster-like presence across letters and figures.
