A high-contrast serif with taut hairlines and weighty main strokes, showing a distinctly calligraphic stress. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like, and many strokes flare subtly as they meet terminals, giving the letterforms a sculpted, ink-trap-adjacent snap without becoming blunt. Curves are generous and smooth, while joins stay crisp, producing a polished, print-like texture. Proportions lean broad in the capitals with slightly varying set widths across letters; the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with elegant ascenders and descenders and a single-storey a and g.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine covers, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes, especially in high-quality print or high-resolution digital layouts.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a strong fashion/editorial character. Its dramatic contrast and razor details read as confident and premium, while the flared endings add a contemporary edge to an otherwise classical, bookish foundation.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, fashion-forward serif voice by combining classical proportions with pronounced contrast and flared, blade-like terminals. The emphasis appears to be on impactful typography that feels refined and contemporary rather than purely utilitarian.
The font’s personality comes through in its pointed terminals, tapered cross-strokes, and the way counters open and close with deliberate, high-contrast modulation. In text, it creates a lively rhythm with pronounced thick–thin alternation, making spacing and line breaks feel visually intentional.
