A sculptural serif with crisp, chiseled forms and pronounced stroke modulation. Vertical stems are weighty while hairlines drop to very thin, creating sharp internal contrast and a lively rhythm. Serifs are flared and wedge-like rather than bracketed slabs, often resolving into pointed terminals that feel carved. Counters are compact and the curves show a slightly calligraphic tension, with angular transitions and tapered joins that keep the silhouettes energetic at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and branding where sharp contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It performs especially well in larger sizes for fashion, culture, and luxury contexts, and can add a distinctive voice to short subheads or logotypes.
The overall tone is assertive and polished, balancing classic serif authority with a contemporary, fashion-forward edge. Its dramatic contrast and sharp terminals read as refined and intentional, lending a sense of luxury and headline-level emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual drama through extreme modulation and flared, carved-looking endings, combining classic serif cues with a more modern, graphic sharpness. It prioritizes display impact and a memorable silhouette over neutral text economy.
The uppercase has a stately, high-contrast presence, while the lowercase introduces distinctive, sometimes idiosyncratic shapes (notably in curved letters and the single-storey forms) that add personality. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, mixing thick verticals with razor hairlines for a cohesive, high-impact texture.
