A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and dense, sculpted main strokes that flare into wedge-like terminals. The serifs read as pointed and braced rather than slabby, creating a crisp, chiseled rhythm across capitals and lowercase. Curves are smooth and glossy in feel, while joins and terminals often resolve into knife-edge points, giving letters like C, G, S, and a strong sense of bite. Overall proportions feel stately and display-leaning, with compact counters and energetic diagonal stress that heightens the sense of movement without introducing any slant.
Best suited to headlines, magazine/editorial layouts, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and posters where the high-contrast detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads and pull quotes when you want a strong, refined voice, but it will be most convincing at display sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The tone is luxurious and emphatic—classic in structure but styled for impact. It evokes editorial polish and fashion-forward drama, balancing elegance with a slightly aggressive sharpness. The overall impression is confident, premium, and attention-seeking rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design intention appears to be a modern, high-impact take on classic serif forms: preserving traditional proportions and serif logic while sharpening terminals and exaggerating thick–thin contrast for contemporary display use. Its flared stroke endings and crisp finishing aim to create a memorable, upscale texture in large typography.
In the sample text, the weighty verticals and fine hairlines produce striking texture and clear hierarchy at larger sizes, while the pointed terminals add a distinctive signature in repeated shapes (notably S, a, e, and s). Numerals match the same high-contrast, display sensibility, with strong thick–thin transitions and crisp finishing details.
