A striking display serif with flared, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves often end in teardrop-like terminals, while joins and inner corners show crisp, carved transitions that read like subtle ink traps. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with a steady, upright stance; round letters (O, C, G) are full and weighty, while diagonals and arches (N, V, W, n, v) cut in sharply for strong rhythm. Lowercase shows a relatively tall x-height and compact counters, and the numerals are bold and sculptural, matching the angular, high-contrast construction.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and cover lines where its contrast and flared serif details can read clearly. It also fits branding marks, packaging, and campaign typography that needs a bold, premium editorial voice, especially when given comfortable tracking and generous leading.
The overall tone is assertive and editorial, blending classic serif cues with a sharper, more contemporary cut. It feels luxe and attention-grabbing, with a slightly theatrical, poster-ready presence that can skew fashion-forward or cultural depending on layout and spacing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a refined serif vocabulary—pairing traditional proportions and serifs with sharpened terminals and carved joins for a modern, high-fashion editorial look. Its tall lowercase and strong figure set suggest it was built to perform in contemporary layouts that mix headline and short text emphases.
In text settings the heavy strokes and tight internal spaces create a dense color on the page, while the high-contrast details and distinctive terminals remain visible at headline sizes. The design’s crisp corner handling and flared serif treatment give it a chiseled, print-like texture rather than a purely geometric feel.
