A high-contrast serif with broad proportions and sculpted, flaring terminals that give many strokes a chiseled, wedge-like finish. Thick stems and hairline-like joins create a pronounced black–white rhythm, while the serifs often resolve into sharp beaks and triangular cuts rather than flat slabs. Curves are full and taut, with distinctive interior notches and pointed joins that emphasize a carved, display-oriented construction. Lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and strong vertical presence, with compact counters and crisp punctuation-like details in the joins and terminals.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titling, and large-format display where the crisp flares and sharp cuts can be appreciated. It can bring a premium, fashion or cultural editorial tone to branding and packaging, and works well for short blocks of emphasis text rather than dense reading sizes.
The overall tone is confident and dramatic, projecting an editorial, fashion-forward sophistication. Its sharp terminals and deep contrast add a slightly theatrical, poster-like energy while still reading as formally serifed and refined.
Likely intended as a contemporary display serif that reinterprets classical letterforms with exaggerated contrast and flared, carved-looking terminals. The design prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and impactful texture for attention-grabbing typography in modern editorial and brand contexts.
The design leans on consistent, angular cut-ins at stroke endings and joins, producing a recognizable silhouette across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The wide set and heavy massing make word shapes feel expansive, and the high contrast becomes more prominent as sizes increase.
