A high-contrast serif with strongly tapered strokes and flared, wedge-like terminals. The letters show a sculpted, chiseled quality: thick verticals are paired with hairline connections, and many serifs resolve as sharp triangular points rather than blunt slabs. Uppercase forms feel stately and compact in their internal spacing, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and a steady baseline rhythm. Numerals and punctuation follow the same cut, calligraphic contrast, with distinctive pointed endings on curves and diagonals.
Best suited to display settings where contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated, such as magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and premium brand identities. It can also work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, subheads, packaging copy) when set with comfortable spacing and not too small.
The overall tone is editorial and upscale, with a dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast suggest refinement and authority while still feeling modern and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-impact serif voice with a refined, contemporary finish—combining classic proportions with flared, sharply cut terminals to create a distinctive display texture.
Curves frequently finish in angled, beak-like terminals (notably in letters like C, S, and e), giving the type a crisp, stylized bite. Diagonals and joins are clean and deliberate, and the font relies on contrast and pointed finishing details more than ornament for personality.
