A high-contrast display serif with strongly tapered joins and flared stroke endings that feel carved rather than bracketed. Vertical stems carry substantial weight while hairlines pinch tightly, creating sharp internal apertures and crisp terminals. Serifs and ends often resolve into wedge-like or teardrop shapes, giving the outlines a sculpted, slightly calligraphic rhythm despite the upright stance. Round letters show pronounced thick–thin modulation, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) read as sturdy, graphic forms with narrowed waists and sharp points.
Best suited to large sizes where the sharp hairlines and flared endings can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, poster titles, packaging fronts, and striking pull quotes. It can also work for short logotypes or wordmarks where a distinctive, high-contrast serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is luxurious and attention-grabbing, with a fashion/editorial sensibility and a touch of theatrical drama. Its carved, flaring details suggest heritage and craft, while the extreme contrast keeps it contemporary and headline-ready.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern display serif that blends classical incised/calligraphic cues with bold, sculptural contrast, prioritizing personality and visual punch over text-size neutrality.
The forms are optimized for impact: counters can become tight in smaller shapes, and fine connecting strokes are delicate compared with the heavy verticals. Numerals follow the same sculptural contrast, with emphatic bowls and tapered joins that match the letterforms’ bold presence.
