A heavy, high-contrast serif with broad proportions and a distinctly flared, carved-stroke feel. Vertical stems are thick and dominant while hairlines are extremely thin, creating strong light–dark rhythm and crisp internal counters. Serifs and terminals appear sharp and wedge-like, often swelling out of the stem rather than sitting as flat slabs, giving many letters a chiseled, calligraphic edge. Round letters are wide and tightly tensioned, and joins in forms like M/N and the lowercase arches show pointed, triangular transitions that emphasize the flare motif.
Best suited to large-scale settings where its hairlines and sharp flares can remain intact—headlines, magazine and newspaper mastheads, striking poster typography, and premium branding or packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or title treatments, but is less appropriate for dense body copy where the extreme contrast and pointed joins may fatigue readability.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, balancing classical refinement with a slightly aggressive, display-driven bite. Its sharp terminals and extreme contrast read as luxurious and editorial, with a fashion-magazine intensity rather than a quiet bookish warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, attention-grabbing take on a high-contrast serif by exaggerating width and emphasizing flared, wedge-like terminals. It prioritizes strong silhouette and dramatic rhythm, aiming for impactful display typography with a polished editorial finish.
Spacing feels generous due to the wide set, and the strong contrast makes fine details disappear quickly at small sizes. Numerals share the same sculpted, flared logic, with prominent weight on verticals and razor-thin connecting strokes, reinforcing a cohesive display character across letters and figures.
