A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and weighty vertical stems, built around crisp, triangular wedge serifs and pointed terminals. Curves are taut and sculpted, with narrow joins and occasional pinched transitions that create a carved, ink-trap-like look at some intersections. Proportions feel display-oriented: capitals are tall and elegant, while lowercase forms combine compact bowls with long, tapering exits and delicate cross-strokes. Numerals follow the same sharp, cut-in aesthetic, pairing bold main strokes with fine, blade-like details.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other large-size typography where the sharp serifs and high-contrast structure can stay clear. It also fits premium branding, beauty/fashion packaging, and poster work that benefits from a refined but attention-grabbing serif.
The overall tone is sleek and dramatic, suggesting luxury and editorial polish with a slightly theatrical edge. Its sharp cuts and high contrast add tension and sophistication, making text feel curated and fashion-forward rather than purely classical.
The design appears intended to modernize the high-contrast serif tradition by emphasizing knife-edge wedges, sculpted transitions, and a tightly controlled rhythm. It aims for a distinctive editorial voice that reads as luxurious and contemporary while retaining classic serif authority.
Spacing in the sample text reads relatively tight and rhythmic, with strong vertical emphasis and crisp silhouette changes from letter to letter. Distinctive details—like the pointed joins on V/W and the cut, wedge-like endings on many strokes—give the face a decorative identity while staying legible at larger sizes.
