A sculpted, high-contrast serif with vertical stress, razor-thin hairlines, and sharply tapered serifs that read as wedge-like points. Curves are generous and smooth while joins and terminals resolve with crisp, chiseled edges, producing a distinctly “cut” silhouette. Proportions feel roomy with wide caps and open counters; the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and a lively rhythm driven by strong thick–thin transitions. Figures follow the same display-minded contrast and crisp finishing, with clear, open forms suited to prominent setting.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where contrast and sharp finishing can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and packaging applications that benefit from a classical, refined serif voice.
The tone is polished and dramatic, evoking fashion and cultural editorial typography. Its sharp serifs and sparkling hairlines add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, while the broad proportions keep it confident and contemporary rather than delicate.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modernized, fashion-forward take on conventional serif structure—pairing classic proportions and vertical stress with heightened contrast and crisp, pointed detailing for strong display impact.
The design rewards generous sizes and careful spacing: hairlines and pointed terminals become a defining texture, and punctuation such as the colon and dots appear as crisp diamond-like marks. In longer passages the strong contrast creates a pronounced stripe pattern, making it feel more at home in display and premium typographic moments than in small, dense settings.
