A high-contrast serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give the forms a sculpted, chiseled feel. Vertical stems are strong and straight while curves thin quickly into hairlines, creating a lively thick–thin rhythm and crisp joins. Proportions lean toward display: capitals are broad and commanding, with tightly controlled bowls and pronounced, pointed serifs; lowercase shows a compact, upright stance with small apertures and clear modulation in strokes. Numerals mirror the same contrast and sharp finishing, maintaining a refined, editorial texture at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and short-to-medium editorial settings where its contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging—especially in applications that benefit from a refined, fashion or culture-oriented voice. For longer text, it will perform most comfortably when set with generous size and leading so the fine hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a dramatic contrast that reads as fashion-forward and authoritative. Its sharp terminals and controlled elegance evoke a classic print sensibility—confident, formal, and slightly theatrical.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic, high-contrast serif: elegant, attention-grabbing, and optimized for impactful typography. The flared stroke endings and knife-like serifs suggest a deliberate emphasis on sophistication and display presence rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The sample text shows a dense, high-contrast color on the page, with hairlines and tapered strokes adding sparkle while the robust verticals keep lines stable. The wedge terminals and flared endings are consistent across letters and figures, reinforcing a cohesive, crafted personality.
