A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, triangular terminals that read as flared, wedge-like serifs. The forms show a strong vertical emphasis, with crisp joins, tapered strokes, and occasional cut-in notches that create sparkling counters and distinctive inner angles. Uppercase shapes feel stately and compact, while the lowercase mixes rounded bowls with lively, slightly calligraphic details (notably in a, g, y, and s). Numerals follow the same display-oriented construction, with bold silhouettes and elegant tapers that keep them coherent alongside the letters.
Best suited to headlines, deck type, and pull quotes where its sharp terminals and contrast can read cleanly and feel intentional. It also fits branding, packaging, and magazine or fashion applications that benefit from a premium, expressive serif voice. For longer text, it will typically perform better at comfortable sizes and generous leading.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, projecting a fashion-editorial polish with a slightly mischievous, expressive edge. Its sharp terminals and dramatic modulation evoke luxury branding and high-end print work, while the sculptural details add personality that feels curated rather than purely utilitarian.
This design appears intended as a modern display serif that reinterprets classic high-contrast proportions with more angular, wedge-like serifs and crisp interior carving. The goal seems to be delivering a recognizable editorial luxury feel while adding distinctive, contemporary sharpness for memorable titling.
Spacing and rhythm appear tuned for larger sizes: the heavy stems and narrow hairlines create a striking black-and-white pattern in text, but the finer joins and interior cut-ins suggest it will look best when given room to breathe. The distinctive terminal treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping the face maintain a unified voice across different characters.
