A refined serif with pronounced, knife-like terminals and wedge serifs that feel carved rather than bracketed. Strokes are slender and taper sharply into points, creating crisp joins and distinctive triangular notches in many letters. Counters are relatively open, while the overall rhythm is punctuated by abrupt, sculpted stroke endings and occasional asymmetrical cuts that read like intentional ink-trap details. The uppercase shows a formal, display-oriented construction, and the lowercase pairs a compact, editorial texture with lively curves in letters like g, s, and y. Numerals echo the same cut, chiseled finishing, giving figures a stylized, boutique feel.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine typography, and brand marks where its sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial paragraphs and packaging text when set with generous spacing and comfortable sizes to avoid the terminals feeling too busy.
The tone is poised and sophisticated, with a fashion-editorial edge. Its sharp terminals and sculptural cuts add drama and a sense of craft, making the text feel curated and upscale rather than purely neutral.
The design appears intended as a decorative editorial serif that blends classical proportions with contemporary, chiseled detailing. Its distinctive terminals and cut-in shapes suggest a goal of creating a memorable, high-style texture for display communication while remaining readable in short text.
In paragraph settings the font maintains a consistent vertical cadence, but the pointed terminals and cut-ins create a sparkling texture that becomes more noticeable as size increases. The ampersand and curved letters contribute a slightly playful, design-forward character within an otherwise formal silhouette.
