A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced wedge-like terminals. Serifs are crisp and often triangular, with elegant, thinning hairlines cutting into heavy stems to create a chiseled, sculptural rhythm. Curves (notably in C, G, S, and the bowls) show calligraphic modulation with pointed entry/exit points, while many joins and diagonals resolve into knife-like tips. Proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height, relatively open counters, and slightly varied letter widths that give the texture a lively, bespoke cadence.
This design is best suited to display applications such as headlines, magazine features, brand marks, and poster typography where its sharp contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or section titles, especially when set with generous spacing and comfortable line height to keep the texture from feeling crowded.
The overall tone is poised and dramatic—polished enough for luxury contexts, yet assertive due to its sharp cuts and theatrical contrast. It evokes an editorial, fashion-forward sensibility, mixing classical serif structure with a more stylized, display-oriented edge.
The font appears designed to deliver a refined, contemporary take on a classical high-contrast serif—prioritizing visual drama, sharp detailing, and editorial impact over neutrality. Its wedge terminals and cut-in hairlines suggest an intention to stand out in branding and headline settings while retaining an unmistakably serif, typographic sophistication.
In text, the strong contrast and pointed terminals create a distinctive sparkle and a darker overall color, especially at larger sizes. The numerals and caps maintain the same cut-in, wedge-terminal logic, helping headlines and short phrases feel cohesive and intentional.
