A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty vertical stems that broaden into subtly flared terminals. Serifs read as wedge-like and calligraphic rather than bracketed slabs, with crisp points and clean joins. The forms combine compact bowls with slightly sheared, chiseled curves, giving counters a tight, polished feel. Numerals and capitals show a strong vertical rhythm, while diagonals (V, W, X) stay razor-edged and controlled, maintaining an elegant, taut texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and editorial settings where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can add a high-end voice to branding, packaging, and cover work, and works well for short passages or pull quotes when set with ample size and comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is poised and formal, with a fashion-editorial gloss and a hint of engraved drama. Its sharp contrast and sculpted details feel premium and intentional, projecting sophistication more than warmth or neutrality.
Designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classic serif construction, emphasizing contrast, sharpness, and flared terminals for a distinctive, premium texture. The intention appears to balance readability with a striking, sculptural presence for contemporary editorial and brand applications.
In continuous text the alternating thick-and-thin pattern creates a pronounced rhythm, and the flared stroke endings add a distinctive signature without becoming overly ornamental. The italic influence is minimal; the style remains upright and stately, with crisp punctuation-like terminals and a confident baseline presence.
