A sculptural serif with pronounced wedge-like, flared terminals and crisp, triangular cuts that create a chiseled silhouette. Strokes stay fairly even overall while the endings sharpen into pointed spur-like serifs, giving many letters a carved, faceted feel. Curves are taut and slightly flattened at transitions, counters are generous, and spacing reads airy in display sizes, with a lively rhythm created by the alternating thick forms and sharp terminal notches. Numerals and lowercase follow the same sharp-terminal language, maintaining strong consistency across the set.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, posters, and brand marks where the sculpted terminals can read clearly. It also fits premium packaging and campaign graphics that benefit from a refined but assertive serif voice.
The tone is bold yet polished, combining editorial sophistication with a slightly theatrical edge. Its sharp terminals and sculpted curves suggest luxury, high style, and a deliberate, attention-grabbing presence rather than neutrality.
The letterforms appear designed to reinterpret a classic serif structure with exaggerated, wedge-shaped terminals and sculpted joins to produce a distinctive display texture. The intent seems to balance traditional elegance with a modern, stylized edge for high-impact typography.
The design leans on distinctive terminal geometry more than conventional bracketed serifs, so letterforms take on a bespoke, logo-like character. In the text sample, the crisp cuts remain legible at large sizes and add texture to headlines, while the strong shapes can become visually busy if pushed too small or tightly tracked.
