A sharply cut serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and a sleek vertical stance. Strokes taper into pointed, wedge-like terminals and subtle flares, giving letters a sculpted, chiseled feel rather than purely bracketed serifs. Uppercase forms are stately with crisp joins and long, fine hairlines; the lowercase shows a compact, controlled rhythm with narrow apertures and teardrop-like finishing on some strokes. Curves in C, G, O, and S are smooth and taut, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) resolve into needle-fine ends that emphasize precision. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with delicate hairline curves and sharp tips.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion lookbooks, brand wordmarks, premium packaging, and poster titles. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes and deck copy where a luxurious, high-contrast voice is desired, especially with careful spacing and ample size.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a runway/editorial sensibility and a hint of classical gravitas. Its dramatic contrast and razor terminals create a sense of confidence and sophistication, reading as premium and carefully crafted. The texture on the page feels lively and upscale, suited to designs that want elegance with bite rather than warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary editorial serif with sculpted, flared finishing and pronounced contrast—optimized for impact, elegance, and a distinctive silhouette in display settings.
In paragraphs, the strong contrast creates a sparkling texture, while the pointed terminals and flared endings add a distinctive signature in headlines. Hairline details are prominent, so the design naturally favors sizes and settings where fine strokes can remain visible. The mix of sharp wedges and smooth bowls produces a refined, slightly theatrical rhythm.
