A high-contrast serif with a sculpted, display-oriented build. Strokes shift abruptly from thick verticals to hairline horizontals and diagonals, creating a crisp rhythm and strong vertical stress. Serifs are narrow and pointed with minimal to no bracketing, often finishing in wedge-like terminals that feel sharp and precise. Curves are taut and slightly calligraphic, with teardrop-like details in places and compact, weighty counters that keep the texture dark in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where a bold, high-contrast voice is desired. It works well for magazine/editorial layouts, premium branding, product packaging, and poster typography, especially in high-resolution print or large digital settings.
The overall tone is dramatic and upscale, with an editorial polish that reads as formal and assertive. The sharp terminals and stark contrast add a sense of tension and sophistication, evoking fashion, luxury packaging, and classic headline typography.
The design appears intended as a modernized high-contrast serif for display use, prioritizing striking contrast, sharp finishing details, and a strong vertical rhythm to create an upscale, attention-grabbing typographic color.
In the sample text the dense color and fine hairlines make it most convincing at larger sizes, where the contrast and pointed terminals can be appreciated without the texture becoming too heavy. Numerals and capitals appear particularly authoritative, while the lowercase introduces some idiosyncratic, slightly calligraphic terminals that add personality.
