A high-contrast serif with sturdy verticals, razor-thin hairlines, and flared stroke endings that broaden into wedge-like terminals. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, with pointed, triangular forms that give many letters a chiseled silhouette. Curves are broad and taut, counters are fairly open, and the overall rhythm is energetic, with noticeable modulation through joins and terminals. Uppercase forms feel stately and monumental, while the lowercase remains compact and readable with a pronounced, graphic stress in bowls and shoulders; numerals follow the same bold–hairline contrast and angular finishing.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titling, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and wedge-serifs can read as intentional style. It can work for short editorial subheads and pull quotes when given generous tracking and leading, while longer paragraphs will benefit from larger sizes and careful spacing.
The font projects a dramatic, editorial tone—formal and classic, yet assertive and fashion-forward. Its sharp wedges and strong contrast add a sense of sophistication and theatricality, making text feel deliberate and high-impact.
Likely designed to deliver a high-fashion, high-drama serif voice by combining classical proportions with aggressively flared terminals and extreme stroke contrast. The goal appears to be strong typographic presence and a distinctive silhouette for display-driven settings.
The design’s distinctive identity comes from its flaring terminals and pointed serif shapes, which create crisp sparkle at display sizes but can become visually busy when tightly set. The texture is bold and inky, with strong black shapes punctuated by thin connecting strokes that add contrast and tension.
