A tightly proportioned serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a sculpted, flared treatment at terminals. Vertical stems feel strong and compact while joins and corners transition with smooth, bracketed shaping that gives the forms a carved, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are wedge-like and tapered rather than blocky, with sharp apexes and crisp endings that keep the silhouettes clean at display sizes. The lowercase shows a relatively tall body with compact counters and a consistent vertical stress across rounds, while figures follow the same high-contrast, editorial tone.
This style excels in headlines, subheads, and short editorial passages where contrast and sculpted serifs can read as intentional texture. It suits magazine mastheads, cultural posters, premium branding, and packaging that benefits from a confident, high-impact serif voice.
The overall tone is poised and assertive, balancing traditional bookish cues with a more theatrical, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp terminals and compressed rhythm create a sense of urgency and sophistication, lending a premium, headline-driven character.
The design appears aimed at delivering a compact, high-contrast serif for display-led typography, combining classical proportions with flared, sculptural terminals to create a distinctive signature in titles and branding.
Round letters like C/O show a clear vertical stress and tight internal space, while diagonals and arms (K, V, W, X) keep crisp, pointed endings that reinforce the font’s chiseled feel. The numerals carry a similarly stylized contrast, favoring elegant curves over utilitarian neutrality.
