A tightly set serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, flaring stroke endings that read as wedge-like serifs rather than flat slabs. Stems are compact and vertical, with crisp apexes and sharp terminals that create a faceted, chiseled feel. Curves show strong tension and narrow counters, while joins and diagonals stay clean and controlled, giving the alphabet a consistent, high-impact rhythm. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and tapered finishing, maintaining a cohesive color in display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine mastheads, fashion and culture headlines, premium branding, and poster titles where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It also works for short pull quotes or section openers when given breathing room through tracking and leading.
The overall tone is luxurious and emphatic, combining classic bookish cues with a more theatrical, runway-ready sharpness. Its high-contrast sparkle and narrow footprint suggest sophistication, authority, and a slightly dramatic edge.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-contrast serif voice in a compact width, using flared, wedge-like endings to add a crafted, calligraphic sharpness. It prioritizes striking silhouettes and editorial presence over neutral text readability.
In text settings the strong contrast produces a lively shimmer and a distinct vertical cadence, while the tapered terminals and wedge serifs keep letterforms crisp at larger sizes. The design’s narrow counters and sharp details can feel dense when tightly set, so it benefits from generous tracking and ample line spacing in longer headlines.
