A high-contrast serif with sculpted, wedge-like terminals and sharply tapered hairlines. Strokes often swell into triangular, ink-trap-like notches that carve into bowls and joins, creating a faceted, cut-paper rhythm rather than smooth transitions. Serifs are expressive and flared, with pointed tips and occasional asymmetric finishing that gives letters a lively, slightly brittle edge. Capitals feel stately and wide-shouldered, while lowercase forms are compact with crisp apertures; numerals share the same dramatic thicks-and-thins and pointed finishing.
Best suited to large sizes where the carved joins and pointed terminals can be appreciated—headlines, magazine covers, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and premium packaging. It can work for short pull quotes or deck copy, but its animated texture is likely to feel busy in long, small-size reading.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, blending classic serif formality with a modern, decorative sharpness. Its crisp contrast and carved details suggest luxury and editorial polish, while the spiky terminals add a slightly mischievous, attention-grabbing character.
This appears designed to reinterpret a classical high-contrast serif with deliberately sharpened, chiseled details that increase visual drama and brand distinctiveness. The consistent pointed finishing across letters and numerals suggests an intention toward impactful display typography rather than quiet body text.
In text, the strong contrast and frequent internal notches create a pronounced sparkle and uneven texture that reads as intentional ornament. The design’s distinctive terminals are especially noticeable in curved letters (C, G, S, e) and in diagonals (V, W, X), where pointed ends emphasize movement and direction.
