A high-contrast serif with a pronounced forward slant and strongly flared stroke endings. Thick verticals taper quickly into hairline joins, with wedge-like, sharpened terminals that give many letters a chiseled silhouette. Serifs are bracketed and often triangular, and several joins show crisp, ink-trap-like notches that emphasize the cut-in rhythm at corners. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while diagonals and cross-strokes stay thin and taut, creating a lively, sculpted texture in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, poster typography, magazine features, and book or album covers where its sharp flares and contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for distinctive branding and packaging, especially at larger sizes where the fine hairlines and angular notches remain clear.
The overall tone is dramatic and characterful, combining classical serif structure with a more theatrical, cut-paper energy. Its sharp terminals and italic motion feel energetic and slightly retro, lending a sense of flair and momentum to headlines.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, editorial voice by mixing traditional serif proportions with exaggerated contrast, flared terminals, and an italicized, forward-driving rhythm. The consistent chiseled details suggest an intention to create a memorable, high-impact texture for attention-grabbing typography.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and emblematic, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic movement and varied entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare logic, with a distinctly stylized, display-forward presence that prioritizes personality over neutrality.
