A high-contrast serif with sculpted, calligraphic modulation and crisp, knife-like terminals. Serifs are sharply bracketed and often wedge-shaped, with pointed joins and tapered strokes that create a lively black-and-white rhythm. Uppercase forms feel stately and wide-set with strong vertical stress, while the lowercase shows compact, traditional proportions with prominent ball terminals and tight internal counters. Numerals follow the same razor-edged logic, mixing sturdy verticals with thin hairlines for an elegant, engraved look.
This design is best suited to display sizes where its hairlines, wedges, and ball terminals can be appreciated—such as magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle branding, premium packaging, and high-impact posters. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when set with adequate size and spacing.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, projecting an editorial, luxury sensibility. Its sharp detailing and strong contrast give it a poised, high-end voice that feels suited to sophisticated headlines and formal statements rather than casual UI text.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serifs, emphasizing sharp detailing and a luxurious presence. Its forms prioritize visual elegance and punchy contrast to stand out in headline and brand settings.
In text, the heavy stems and hairline connections create a sparkling texture with pronounced stroke contrast, and the pointed terminals can add a slightly aggressive, fashion-forward edge. The italic is not shown; the sample suggests a consistent upright stance across sizes.
