A sculpted display serif with sharply tapered, wedge-like terminals and flared stroke endings that create a carved, almost engraved feel. The letterforms show strong thick–thin modulation and a rhythmic, slightly calligraphic flow, with pointed joins and crisp corners that emphasize direction and movement. Counters are generally compact and the shapes feel tightly controlled, while small details—like the triangular notches and blade-like serifs—give the outlines a distinctive, faceted profile. The overall build reads sturdy and weighty, but the high modulation keeps it from feeling heavy or static.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, book and album covers, magazine titling, and branding where its distinctive wedges and flared endings can be appreciated. It works especially well for short blocks of text, pull quotes, and dramatic title treatments set at larger sizes.
The tone is dramatic and stylized, evoking classic poster lettering and editorial headlines with a touch of vintage flair. Its sharp terminals and high-contrast rhythm feel confident and theatrical, lending a sense of ceremony and intensity to short phrases and titles.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif through a flared, wedge-terminal vocabulary, prioritizing personality and impact over neutrality. Its consistent sculpted details suggest a focus on expressive display typography that stands out in editorial and promotional contexts.
In text settings the strong modulation and pointed terminals create a lively texture and noticeable sparkle, especially at larger sizes. The numerals share the same carved, flared logic and feel made for emphasis rather than quiet, continuous reading.
