This typeface is a high-contrast serif with pronounced flared, wedge-like terminals that create a carved, blade-edged silhouette. Strokes taper quickly into hairlines, while thicker verticals and main diagonals remain solid, producing a strong light–dark rhythm. Serifs are minimal and often implied through sharp triangular endings rather than bracketed slabs, giving many letters a chiseled, slightly calligraphic finish. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with tight apertures and a deliberate, graphic stress; numerals follow the same sharp-terminal logic, with elegant curves and thin connecting hairlines.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and culture editorials, branding wordmarks, and poster titles where strong contrast and sharp terminals can read clearly. It can also work for short pull quotes or deck copy when given sufficient size and breathing room.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical, balancing classic editorial polish with a distinctly modern, angular bite. The crisp wedges and extreme contrast add a sense of luxury and intensity, making the font feel suited to high-impact, taste-driven design contexts.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical serif proportions through a flared, wedge-terminal vocabulary, emphasizing high-contrast elegance while adding a sharp, contemporary edge. Its shapes prioritize visual drama and distinctive silhouettes over neutrality, aiming for memorable, premium-looking typography.
In text, the font maintains a consistent, rhythmic texture but calls attention to itself through sharp joins and pointed terminals; this makes it especially effective at larger sizes where the hairlines and wedge details can be appreciated. The contrast and narrow internal spaces in some letters can appear dense if set too small or too tightly spaced.
