A high-contrast serif with broad, weighty verticals and sharply thinned hairlines. Serifs read as pointed wedges with gentle bracketing, and many joins taper into crisp, triangular terminals that give the letterforms a chiseled look. Counters are generous and round, with a slightly soft, calligraphic modulation that shows through in curves and diagonals. Lowercase forms keep a conventional structure with a moderate x-height, while the overall rhythm alternates between dense strokes and thin connecting elements for a distinctly sculpted texture in text.
Best suited to display typography where contrast and sculptural detail can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster titles. It can work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes, but its dramatic contrast and sharp terminals are most effective at larger sizes with comfortable spacing.
The tone is theatrical and editorial, combining classical serif cues with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its strong contrast and knife-like terminals feel confident and luxe, projecting a sense of drama and sophistication rather than quiet neutrality.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, high-impact take on a traditional serif for attention-grabbing display use. The combination of sturdy main strokes, refined hairlines, and wedge-like finishing details suggests an intention to balance classic credibility with modern, stylish flair.
In the sample text, the bold presence and thin internal strokes create noticeable sparkle and strong word shapes, especially in mixed-case settings. Numerals carry the same high-contrast logic, with curved figures showing pronounced thick–thin transitions and pointed finishing details that match the capitals.
