A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty main strokes, featuring sharp, wedge-like serifs and frequent pointed terminals. Curves are smooth and taut, with an elegant tension between thin joins and bold verticals, and a generally upright, composed stance. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with prominent ascenders/descenders, while capitals are stately and slightly wide in presence. Numerals and punctuation maintain the same chiseled, calligraphic bite, keeping a consistent rhythm across display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand marks where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It will also work well on premium packaging and invitations, and as a complementary display serif paired with a restrained sans for body copy.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, combining classic bookish structure with fashion-forward sharpness. Its pointed details and dramatic contrast read as premium and intentional, lending a sense of luxury and editorial authority rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-contrast serif voice with a refined, couture sensibility. Its disciplined proportions and consistent chiseled terminals suggest a focus on impactful display typography that still feels rooted in conventional serif traditions.
Distinctive spear-like terminals appear in several letters (notably around descenders and diagonals), creating a subtle spikiness that becomes a signature at larger sizes. In tighter settings the thin hairlines and pointed joins can visually sparkle, so generous tracking and leading help preserve clarity.
