A striking serif with sculpted, flaring stroke terminals and sharply tapered joins. The letterforms show pronounced thick–thin modulation and wedge-like serif endings that often resolve into pointed, triangular tips, giving strokes a carved, chiseled look. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while curves (notably in C, G, S, and 0–9) alternate between broad, inky masses and hairline pinch points, creating an energetic rhythm. Proportions read as display-oriented, with sturdy verticals, tight interior detailing, and a slightly condensed feel in some capitals while maintaining clear differentiation across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and short passages set large where the contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It works especially well for magazine and fashion layouts, event posters, luxury branding, and premium packaging where a strong typographic signature is desired.
The overall tone is theatrical and high-end, with a fashion-editorial confidence and a touch of vintage glamour. The sharp flares and high-contrast modeling add tension and elegance, making the text feel assertive, curated, and headline-driven rather than neutral or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, editorial serif voice that combines classical proportions with sharply modern, sculptural flares. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and contrast-driven texture to create memorable display typography.
In the sample text, the face holds together well at large sizes, where the hairline transitions and pointed terminals become a defining texture. The heavier joins and tapered serifs create a distinctive sparkle along baselines and cap lines, while the numerals mix strong geometric bodies with dramatic cut-ins and angled terminals for emphasis.
