A sharply modeled serif with pronounced wedge-like, flaring terminals and sculptural, ink-trap-like notches that create a faceted look in joins and corners. Strokes transition abruptly between thick masses and thin hairlines, producing a punchy rhythm and strong internal contrast. The serifs feel chiseled rather than bracketed, and many curves show deliberate cut-ins that add sparkle and tension. Proportions read as display-oriented with compact counters and assertive verticals, while the overall texture remains upright and controlled.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and large-format typography where its sharp terminals and internal cut-ins can be appreciated. It works well for fashion and culture editorial, premium branding, poster titles, and packaging that needs a dramatic, refined voice.
The tone is confident and high-impact, balancing classical letterform cues with a distinctly stylized, almost carved aesthetic. It suggests luxury and editorial polish, with a slightly theatrical edge from the dramatic stroke contrast and pointed terminals.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display presence by combining traditional serif structure with flared endings and carved detailing that amplifies contrast and visual bite. It prioritizes personality and memorable word shapes over neutral text texture.
Diagonal and curved letters show consistent angular shaping in terminals, which gives words a distinctive zig-zag shimmer at larger sizes. Numerals share the same flared, cut-in detailing, helping them match headlines and logotypes rather than blending into text settings.
