A sculptural display serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and flared stroke endings that expand into sharp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are wide and steady in stance, with crisp, tapered joins and distinct triangular wedge details at terminals. Counters are compact and strongly shaped, giving the forms a dense, poster-like color, while curved letters (C, G, S, O) show clean, controlled stress and finely pointed tips. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same chiseled rhythm, with a two-storey g and compact, high-contrast details that stay consistent across the set.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, magazine mastheads, and editorial typography where high-contrast detail and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding applications—logotypes, packaging titles, and campaign graphics—where a commanding, refined serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is confident and theatrical, combining classic print sophistication with a fashion-forward edge. It reads as premium and assertive, suited to dramatic headlines where contrast and sharp finishing create a sense of polish and authority.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serifs, emphasizing flared endings and sculpted terminals to maximize drama and sophistication at display sizes. Its wide proportions and strong vertical rhythm suggest a goal of delivering bold, elegant impact in short phrases and titles.
In text settings the bold strokes and narrow internal spaces create a strong, continuous texture; spacing looks designed to keep words compact and impactful. The distinctive wedge-like terminals become a defining motif, adding sparkle at large sizes but potentially feeling busy when set too small or too tight.
