A display-oriented serif with pronounced vertical stress and sharp, triangular serifs that read as crisp wedges. Thick stems dominate while hairline connections and counters pinch tightly, creating a strong light–dark rhythm and a sculpted, cut-metal feel. Round letters (O, C, G, e) show narrow internal spaces and tapered terminals, while several forms introduce subtle asymmetry and flare that add motion without leaning. Numerals are equally stylized, with high-contrast strokes and curved tails that echo the letterforms.
Best suited for headlines, magazine mastheads, posters, and brand marks where the strong contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can work well for packaging and short editorial callouts, especially when set with ample spacing and used as a statement face rather than for long reading.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, projecting a polished, high-end sensibility. It feels editorial and fashion-forward, with a slightly vintage, poster-like confidence that suits attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dramatic contrast and stylized serif shapes, giving familiar serif proportions a more sculptural, display-driven character. It prioritizes a distinctive texture and upscale attitude for prominent typographic moments.
At larger sizes the sharp serifs and hairline joins become a key part of the personality; at smaller sizes the tight counters and fine connections may demand generous tracking and leading to maintain clarity. The mix of rigid verticals and swelling curves creates a distinctive, punchy texture in all-caps and title case.
