This serif shows pronounced thick–thin contrast with smooth, tapering strokes and flared, wedge-like terminals that read as sharp, sculpted serifs. Capitals are tall and streamlined with crisp apexes and pointed joins, while curves are clean and slightly taut, giving counters a refined, vertical feel. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with compact proportions and distinct stroke modulation; the overall rhythm is tight and controlled, producing a polished, high-definition texture in words and lines. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and sharp finishing, pairing well with the uppercase for display settings.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, cover lines, brand marks, and campaign posters where its sharp serifs and contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing to preserve clarity.
The tone is poised and upscale, with a fashion/editorial attitude driven by its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast. It feels confident and formal rather than friendly, leaning toward a refined, modern-classic sensibility suited to premium branding and headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, contemporary display serif with calligraphic contrast and flared finishing, creating dramatic letterforms that look crisp and premium in large sizes. Its streamlined proportions and sharp terminals prioritize visual impact and a refined, editorial texture.
In the sample text the dense, high-contrast texture becomes prominent, so it reads best when given size, tracking, and ample line spacing. The pointed terminals and narrow forms create striking silhouettes and strong vertical emphasis, especially in all-caps settings.
