A sculpted serif with sharply tapered joins and pronounced flaring at stroke endings, creating a chiseled, wedge-like serif impression. Thick verticals dominate, while hairline connections and terminals pinch to fine points, producing a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. Curves are taut and slightly faceted, with narrow apertures and compact counters that keep the silhouettes bold and graphic. The lowercase shows a relatively steady x-height with lively, angular terminals and a single-storey a and g that emphasize the cut-in, calligraphic modulation.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, posters, and brand marks where its sharp contrast and flared endings can be appreciated. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads, but the fine connectors and tight counters suggest using it at comfortable sizes and with careful tracking in dense text.
The tone is dramatic and editorial, balancing classic bookish authority with a contemporary, fashion-forward sharpness. Its knife-edge details and sculpted serifs give it a luxurious, slightly theatrical presence that feels curated and premium rather than casual.
Likely drawn to deliver a bold editorial voice with a carved, flared-serif character—combining classic serif structure with assertive contrast for impactful display typography.
The design relies on fine hairlines and tight interior spaces, so spacing and size will strongly influence clarity. Numerals and capitals read as particularly display-oriented, with striking diagonals and wedge terminals that add texture in headlines and short settings.
