A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and flared stroke endings that broaden into sharp, triangular serifs. The outlines feel crisp and sculpted, with pointed apexes on capitals (notably A and V/W) and narrow hairlines that create bright internal counters and clean negative space. Lowercase forms show a relatively tall x-height and sturdy verticals, while curves transition into tapered terminals, giving the texture a refined, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Numerals match the display emphasis, with bold main strokes and fine, blade-like finishing details.
Best suited to display applications where contrast and sharp detailing can read clearly—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book and album covers, and premium branding systems. It can work for short text blocks in large sizes, but its thin hairlines and dramatic modulation suggest more confident performance in titles and larger typographic moments than in dense body copy.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, balancing classic sophistication with a dramatic, high-fashion edge. The sharp serifs and pronounced contrast convey confidence and luxury, while the flared endings add a crafted, ornamental finish without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif voice with a fashion-forward presence, pairing classical proportions with flared, tapered finishing for a distinctive signature in display typography.
At text sizes the strong contrast produces a striking, high-ink/low-ink pattern, and the wide capitals create an airy, stately cadence in headings. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates an upright posture throughout.
