A display serif with sharply sculpted, high-contrast letterforms and pronounced flaring into wedge-like terminals. Stems are robust and often broaden toward the ends, while hairlines stay razor-thin, creating a crisp vertical emphasis. Serifs read as beaked and triangular, with frequent internal notches and cut-ins that give counters and joins a carved, chiseled feel. Overall proportions are relatively compact with strong weight concentration in the main strokes, producing a rhythmic, poster-ready texture in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to large sizes where the thin hairlines and detailed cuts remain clear—editorial headlines, title typography, brand marks, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers, but extended body text may feel intense due to the extreme contrast and sharp detailing.
The tone is theatrical and authoritative, combining a classic serif presence with a more stylized, cut-paper sharpness. It suggests fashion-editorial confidence and old-world gravitas, while the angular notches add a slightly eccentric, attention-grabbing edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through exaggerated contrast and flared, wedge-like endings, blending traditional serif cues with a deliberately sculptural, display-focused finish.
Uppercase forms lean monumental and high-contrast, while lowercase shows distinctive shaping in bowls and shoulders that emphasizes the font’s carved geometry. Numerals match the headline character with strong thick–thin swings and pointed terminals, making them feel integrated rather than neutral.
