A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared terminals and razor-sharp, wedge-like serifs. Vertical strokes read as sturdy and dark while hairlines taper to fine points, creating a crisp, calligraphic rhythm. Curves are smooth and generous (notably in O, C, G, and Q), with pointed joins and tapered entries/exits that give the outlines a chiseled, polished feel. Lowercase forms keep a relatively even, contemporary proportioning, with a single-storey a and g, a compact t, and narrow, angled arms on letters like k and v; numerals echo the same sharp, tapered modulation and open counters.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities where high contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also fits premium packaging, beauty/fashion communications, and pull quotes or display settings that benefit from a crisp, luxurious texture.
The tone is elegant and theatrical, projecting a refined, editorial sophistication with a fashion-forward edge. Its dramatic contrast and knife-like finishing details feel premium and display-oriented, balancing classical serif cues with a sleek modern attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a high-contrast serif—combining classical proportions with flared, tapered finishing to create a distinctive display voice that remains disciplined and readable in larger text sizes.
In text, the strong thick–thin modulation produces a lively sparkle and clear hierarchy, especially at larger sizes. The flared stroke endings and pointed terminals create a distinctive texture, with occasional delicate hairlines that can appear especially fine in smaller settings or on low-contrast backgrounds.
