A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and finely tapered hairlines. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like with a subtly flared feel at stroke endings, giving terminals a carved, chiseled finish rather than blunt brackets. The capitals are tall and stately with generous vertical stress, while the lowercase keeps a moderately compact rhythm and a traditional serif structure. Curves (C, G, O, e) are smooth and controlled, and diagonals (V, W, X, K) are crisp with thin joining points, emphasizing the font’s delicate peaks and incisive joins. Figures follow the same contrast logic, with elegant, narrow joints and small, precise finishing strokes.
This font is well suited to headlines, magazine typography, brand wordmarks, and other display applications where a refined, high-contrast texture is an asset. It can work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes, particularly in well-printed or high-resolution contexts where the fine hairlines and sharp serifs remain crisp.
The overall tone is poised and formal, projecting a fashion-forward, premium sensibility. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted endings create a dramatic, high-style impression suited to polished editorial environments rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, editorial take on classical high-contrast serif letterforms, combining traditional proportions with sharper, more stylized finishing strokes to heighten sophistication and visual drama.
In text, the hairlines and pointed serifs create a lively sparkle and a distinctly ‘cut’ texture, especially around round letters and at the ends of horizontals. The design favors elegance and display clarity, where its thin details and stark contrast can remain visible.
