A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered strokes, pointed wedge serifs, and pronounced triangular terminals that give many letters a chiseled, blade-like finish. Curves are drawn with thick-to-thin modulation and tight apertures, while verticals read as weighty columns that often end in fine hairline tips. The lowercase shows compact, sculpted forms with small counters and distinctive wedge joins, creating a lively, slightly irregular rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and tapering, producing a bold, display-forward texture.
This font is best suited to display settings where its sharp tapering and extreme contrast can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and culture layouts, posters, and striking brand marks. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but long passages of small text may feel busy due to the energetic joins and narrow counters.
The overall tone is bold and sophisticated, with a distinctly editorial, couture feel. Its knife-edge terminals and strong contrast add a sense of drama and theatricality, leaning more toward statement-making elegance than quiet neutrality.
The letterforms appear designed to reinterpret classic high-contrast serif principles with more angular, decorative wedge terminals and chiseled joins, prioritizing impact and personality. The intent seems to be a refined yet unconventional display serif that signals luxury and drama in contemporary editorial contexts.
The design emphasizes sharp interior notches and angled cut-ins, especially visible where strokes meet (e.g., in diagonals and arches), which creates sparkle but also increases visual activity at smaller sizes. Spacing appears relatively tight in running text, reinforcing a dense, high-impact color on the page.
