A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and wedge-like, flared stroke endings. The forms are built from broad, confident verticals paired with hairline joins and terminals, creating a crisp, sculptural silhouette. Serifs often resolve as triangular spurs rather than flat brackets, and many letters show tapered, blade-like diagonals and pointed terminals. Counters are compact and the overall rhythm feels lively, with slightly varied widths and strong emphasis on vertical stress.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, book covers, and high-end packaging where contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It can work for short bursts of text like pull quotes or subheads, but the intense hairlines and busy texture suggest using generous sizes, leading, and careful backgrounds for readability.
The tone is assertive and elegant, leaning toward a fashion/editorial voice with a touch of drama. Sharp terminals and extreme contrast give it a refined, high-impact presence that feels formal and curated rather than neutral. The flared details add a subtly calligraphic, display-forward character.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact serif voice by combining classical vertical stress with sharply flared terminals and striking contrast. Its shapes prioritize presence and stylized elegance over neutrality, aiming for distinctive headline performance and brand-forward typography.
In text, the hairlines and pointed junctions create sparkling highlights and a busy texture, especially around diagonals and letter joins. Numerals and capitals carry the most theatrical shapes, making the font feel best when given space and size to show its contrast and sharp finishing.
