This serif features sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation, with crisp, wedge-like serifs and pointed terminals that create a cut, faceted look. Capitals are broad and stately with generous internal space, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and relatively narrow joins, emphasizing vertical stress and a clean, upright stance. Curves on letters like C, G, O, and S are tightly controlled and polished, and the numerals share the same dramatic contrast and sharp finishing, giving the set a cohesive, display-forward rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It also fits brand marks and packaging that call for a refined, high-end impression, and can work for short editorial text when set with comfortable leading and size.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, pairing classic editorial sophistication with a slightly theatrical edge. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast read as premium and fashion-aware rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on high-contrast serif tradition—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and visual drama while maintaining a familiar text-serif structure. It aims to stand out through refined detailing and a confident, editorial presence.
Spacing appears open enough to preserve counters at larger sizes, but the hairlines and sharp tips make the design feel most confident when given room—either through larger setting sizes or careful tracking and line spacing. The presence of strong triangular details (notably in A, V/W, and diagonals) reinforces a distinctive, chiseled signature.
