A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and razor-thin hairlines that create a distinctly chiseled silhouette. The design emphasizes strong verticals, compact apertures, and tapered joins, producing a rhythmic alternation of thick and thin across both capitals and lowercase. Serifs read as delicate, blade-like terminals rather than blunt brackets, and curves are drawn with tight, glossy bowls that keep counters controlled. Numerals echo the same tension, with bold main strokes and fine, elegant finishing strokes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where its contrast and sharp terminals can read cleanly. It can also serve premium branding—logotypes, packaging, and event materials—where a refined, high-fashion voice is desired. For extended small-size text, its delicate hairlines and tight counters may require careful sizing and reproduction conditions.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, evoking fashion publishing and premium branding. Its sharp transitions and elegant hairlines communicate sophistication and a sense of curated restraint, while the pronounced contrast adds drama and immediacy in display settings.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on a high-contrast serif with flared, sculptural endings—prioritizing elegance, impact, and a distinctive editorial voice. Its proportions and crisp detailing aim to create strong silhouette recognition in display typography while maintaining a controlled, refined rhythm in mixed-case settings.
In text, the font presents a dense, inky color with crisp highlights where hairlines and terminals cut into the forms. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright, relying on contrast and terminal shape for expression rather than slant. The design’s fine details suggest it will reward larger sizes where the hairlines and flared finishes remain clearly visible.
