A high-contrast serif with sculpted, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes flare into pointed, triangular terminals that create crisp entry/exit cuts, while round forms show deep cut-ins that read like subtle ink traps or notches. The overall build is sturdy and dark, with compact internal counters in many letters and a rhythm that alternates between broad vertical stems and razor-thin hairlines. Numerals follow the same chiseled logic, mixing smooth curves with sharp, angled finishing details for a consistent, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, covers, and large-size editorial typography where its contrast and angular terminal details can be appreciated. It can work well for branding and packaging that aims for a premium, fashion or culture-magazine voice, and for posters where strong, graphic letterforms are an advantage.
The tone is assertive and refined, combining a classic serif posture with a contemporary, fashion-led sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and knife-edge terminals give it a premium, headline-ready presence that feels editorial and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver an impactful modern display serif: classic proportions energized with sharp wedge serifs and intentional cut-ins that add tension and sparkle. It prioritizes high visual drama and a distinctive silhouette for titles and short-form typography.
In the text sample the dense black stems and tight apertures create a strong typographic “color,” especially in mixed-case lines. The distinctive cut-in details at joins and terminals become part of the personality at larger sizes and contribute to a crisp, carved impression.
