A sculpted serif with striking thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are sharply cut and often triangular, creating strong directional entry and exit strokes, while curves are taut and highly polished. Uppercase forms feel stately and compact, with prominent vertical stress and pointed joins; lowercase follows with a slightly more calligraphic rhythm, including a two-storey “a” and “g” and narrow, tapered arms on letters like “r” and “t”. Numerals mirror the same chiseled contrast and tight internal counters, keeping an overall dark, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and culture editorial, brand marks, packaging, and striking poster titles. It can also work for short pull quotes and section openers where a dramatic, high-contrast serif texture is desired.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, with an upscale editorial feel. Its sharp terminals and dramatic modulation suggest confidence and formality, evoking fashion, culture publishing, and premium branding rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary take on a classic, high-contrast serif for premium display use, balancing traditional proportions with sharply cut terminals and a polished, modern finish.
At larger sizes the font’s crisp joins, angled cuts, and narrow apertures create a distinctive sparkle and high-end presence; in dense paragraphs it reads as intentionally bold and attention-grabbing, with a strong vertical rhythm and tightly held counters.
