A high-contrast serif with sharp wedge terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout. The letterforms are compact and slightly condensed in feel, with crisp, pointed serifs and tapered joins that create a carved, calligraphic rhythm. Several strokes show deliberate breaks and narrow bridges, producing a segmented look without losing the overall silhouette. Curves are taut and elliptical, counters are relatively small, and the numerals follow the same sculpted, high-contrast logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and title treatments where its contrast and sharp terminals can read cleanly. It also works well for premium branding and packaging that benefit from a refined, dramatic texture, rather than long-form body copy.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, balancing classical bookish authority with a contemporary, fashion-forward edge. The crisp cuts and intentional interruptions add tension and intrigue, making the face feel bold, curated, and slightly avant-garde.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a high-contrast serif by combining classic wedge-serif proportions with purposeful stroke separations and crisp, sculptural detailing. The goal seems to be strong visual character and editorial sophistication with an added graphic twist.
Spacing appears generous enough for display sizes, while the extreme contrast and fine hairlines suggest it will look best when given room and high-quality reproduction. The distinctive wedge terminals and rhythmic stroke breaks create strong texture in headlines and short passages, especially at larger sizes.
