A sculptural serif with pronounced flared terminals and wedge-like, incised joins that create sharp, triangular cut-ins. The strokes are strongly modulated, alternating between hefty vertical masses and razor-thin hairline connections, producing a crisp, high-impact rhythm. Bowls tend toward geometric, slightly compressed forms with clean internal counters, while diagonals and cross-strokes often resolve into pointed, blade-like endings. Overall spacing reads open for the weight, and the silhouette feels carved and architectural rather than calligraphic.
Best suited to large-size settings where the sharp incisions and hairline details can be appreciated—headlines, editorial display, brand marks, and premium packaging. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but dense paragraph text will likely feel heavy and visually busy.
The tone is dramatic and fashion-forward, mixing classic elegance with a stylized, display-led edge. Its sharp cut-ins and glossy contrast evoke luxury packaging, Art Deco signage, and theatrical headlines—confident, assertive, and slightly mysterious.
This design appears intended to deliver a carved, flared-serif look with maximum contrast and a bold, graphic footprint. The exaggerated modulation and pointed terminals prioritize visual personality and upscale impact over neutrality, aiming for memorable display typography.
Uppercase forms feel especially monumental, with distinctive triangular notches and tapered cross-strokes that add sparkle at large sizes. Lowercase maintains the same carved logic, with single-storey-style simplicity in some forms and strong vertical emphasis that keeps words blocky and poster-like.
