This serif shows striking thick–thin modulation with hairline joins and crisp, pointed terminals. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like, often triangular, giving the strokes a faceted, cut-in-stone feel. The overall color is light and airy despite the strong vertical stems, with compact counters and narrow proportions that create a taut, vertical rhythm. Curves are tightly drawn and the spacing reads as deliberate and controlled, producing a polished, high-precision texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and other editorial settings where high contrast and refined serifs can read as premium and intentional. It can work well for luxury branding, invitations, and poster titles, especially with generous tracking and clean reproduction. For long passages, it will be most comfortable at sizes and print conditions that preserve its hairlines.
The tone is poised and luxurious, with a hint of theatricality from the dramatic contrast and dagger-like details. It feels formal and fashion-adjacent—more runway and gallery than everyday office. The narrow build and crisp terminals add intensity, making the voice confident and slightly severe rather than friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward take on a classic serif: narrow, high-drama letterforms with razor terminals and a controlled text rhythm. Its details emphasize sophistication and impact, aiming to stand out in editorial and brand contexts without resorting to novelty shapes.
Uppercase forms lean on tall verticals and fine hairlines, while lowercase keeps a restrained, editorial structure with compact bowls and a steady baseline. Numerals match the same sculpted contrast, and overall consistency suggests the design is optimized for elegant display and tightly set headlines where its sharp details can be appreciated.
