A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered wedge terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout. The letterforms lean on sculpted, calligraphic stress and crisp joins, with compact internal counters and a strong vertical presence. Serifs are pointed and often triangular, giving strokes a chiseled, cut-paper feel, while curves (especially in rounds like O/Q and bowls) show deliberate swelling into heavy verticals. Overall widths and spacing feel intentionally varied, creating an irregular rhythm that reads as designed rather than purely text-seriffed.
Best suited to display contexts such as headlines, magazine features, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and pointed terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging and pull quotes, especially when paired with a calmer text face to balance its strong, stylized texture.
The tone is dramatic and editorial, projecting a fashion-forward elegance with a slightly theatrical, boutique personality. Its sharp terminals and sculptural contrast add a sense of luxury and attitude, making the voice feel assertive and stylized rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif model into a more decorative, high-fashion display voice by exaggerating contrast and sharpening terminals. Its varied rhythm and chiseled details suggest a goal of creating memorable, image-driven typography for titles and identity work rather than long-form neutrality.
At larger sizes, the crisp wedge serifs and dramatic stroke transitions become a key graphic feature; in dense settings the heavy verticals and tight apertures can darken color quickly. Numerals and capitals carry the same display-like sharpness, with distinctive forms (notably the Q tail and the spurred, tapered terminals) that emphasize character over restraint.
