A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and robust vertical stems, built around crisp, sculpted forms. Serifs and terminals often resolve into fine wedges and tapered points, giving many strokes a cut-paper sharpness rather than a purely calligraphic finish. The rhythm is disciplined and upright, with slightly condensed-feeling capitals and round letters shaped by strong thick–thin transitions. Curves are clean and controlled, while joins and cross-strokes favor pointed, flared endings that keep counters open and edges crisp at display sizes.
This face is best used for headlines, magazine display typography, and brand marks where its sharp contrast and tapered details can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes, packaging fronts, and event/poster titling, especially when paired with a simpler text companion for longer reading.
The overall tone reads polished and editorial, with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its pointed terminals and dramatic contrast create a sense of luxury and tension—refined but attention-seeking—well suited to contemporary branding that wants a classic foundation with a distinctive edge.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif through sharper, more stylized terminals and wedge-like cuts, creating a distinctive display voice without abandoning traditional serif structure. It prioritizes visual impact, crisp silhouettes, and an editorial palette over neutral text utility.
Several letters show distinctive triangular notches and blade-like terminals (notably in diagonals and cross-strokes), which adds a decorative sparkle and makes the texture more varied than a conventional book serif. Numerals follow the same contrast and tapering logic, maintaining a coherent, premium feel in mixed text.
