A sculptural display serif with extreme stroke modulation and pronounced flaring at terminals. Letterforms are wide and tightly built, with wedge-like serifs and pointed, blade-shaped joins that create crisp internal angles. Curves often resolve into thin hairline cuts and notches, producing a stenciled, incised feel in counters and at stroke transitions. The overall rhythm is energetic and slightly back-slanted, with strong vertical emphasis and a deliberate mix of solid masses and razor-thin details.
Best suited to large-scale settings where its hairlines and carved details can hold: headlines, cover lines, wordmarks, posters, and statement packaging. It can also work for short editorial decks or pull quotes when ample size and spacing are available, but it is not optimized for long passages due to its intense contrast and busy internal detailing.
The font projects a bold, couture editorial tone—confident, dramatic, and slightly mischievous. Its sharp cuts and flared endings evoke vintage poster lettering and high-fashion mastheads, while the aggressive contrast adds a sense of luxury and spectacle. The texture in text feels punchy and kinetic rather than quiet or bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a distinctive carved, flared-serif signature—combining classic serif cues with sharper, more graphic cuts. It prioritizes impact and personality over neutrality, aiming to create a recognizable typographic voice for display-led applications.
In continuous text, the dense black shapes and thin internal cuts create a distinctive sparkle-and-shadow pattern, especially in round letters like O/Q and in diagonals such as V/W/X. The numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with stylized apertures and tapered strokes that read best at larger sizes where the hairlines stay visible.
