A sculpted text face with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, wedge-like terminals that create a crisp, chiselled silhouette. Stems are stout while hairlines taper quickly, producing bright internal counters and a strong vertical rhythm in capitals. Serifs read as short, angled and slightly bracketed, with crisp triangular beaks on forms like E, F, T and diagonal letter endings that feel cut rather than rounded. Lowercase shows compact, sturdy bowls and a two-storey construction where applicable, with a lively, slightly calligraphic stress that keeps shapes elegant at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp terminal cuts can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial subheads and premium packaging copy, while long passages may require careful sizing and spacing to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is editorial and upscale, combining classical formality with a dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast suggest sophistication and authority, lending a premium, headline-driven character.
The design appears aimed at delivering a high-end, editorial look through strong contrast and incisive, wedge-like finishing. It prioritizes impact and refinement, using classic proportions and a calligraphic feel to project prestige and confidence.
Spacing in the sample text reads generous enough to keep dense strokes from clumping, and the numerals carry the same sculpted contrast and tapered details as the letters. The design’s crisp joins and thin hairlines make it visually striking, especially in larger settings where the cut terminals and counter shapes are most apparent.
