This typeface is a high-contrast serif with strongly sculpted, flared terminals that read like wedge or incised serifs rather than bracketed, bookish ones. Vertical stems are heavy and steady while implied hairlines thin to knife-like joins, producing crisp internal shapes and pronounced stroke modulation. The letterforms feel broad and monumental, with compact counters and a rhythm driven by sharp notches, tapered arms, and pointed finials. Overall spacing looks display-oriented, with sturdy silhouettes and a distinctly chiseled, ornamental construction that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to large sizes where its high contrast and carved terminals can be appreciated—headlines, titles, posters, and magazine or fashion applications. It can also work for branding and packaging where a distinctive, premium serif voice is needed, but it is less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone is assertive and refined, combining a fashion-editorial polish with a slightly gothic, ceremonial drama. Its sharp tapers and carved detailing create a sense of luxury and intensity, making text feel curated and attention-grabbing rather than conversational.
The font appears designed to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif through a decorative, incised treatment—emphasizing sculptural terminals, sharp modulation, and strong silhouettes for impactful display typography.
The design’s personality comes from repeated triangular cut-ins and flared endings that create high sparkle at joins and terminals. Numerals and capitals carry the same carved, calligraphic tension, helping the face maintain a cohesive, logo-ready presence when mixing letters and figures.
