A decorative serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and a distinctly tapered, calligraphic stroke logic. Forms show pronounced triangular cuts and pointed joins that create a faceted, chiseled feel, especially in diagonals and curves. Counters are relatively open and oval, while horizontals and serifs often end in knife-edge points rather than bracketed feet, producing a crisp, high-fashion rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel display-oriented, and the lowercase carries a stylized, slightly angular texture with compact shoulders and distinctive ear/terminal shapes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display typography, and brand identities where distinctive serif detailing is desired. It can work well for posters and premium packaging, especially when set large enough for the pointed terminals and cut-ins to read cleanly.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, with a deliberate sense of drama and sophistication. The pointed terminals and sculpted curves suggest luxury branding and magazine typography, balancing classic serif heritage with a contemporary, stylized edge.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classical serif silhouette with sharpened, wedge-like terminals and stylized cuts that heighten contrast in silhouette rather than stroke weight. Its construction emphasizes character and impact over neutrality, aiming for a memorable, fashion-forward display voice.
The alphabet shows consistent use of wedge terminals across straight and curved strokes, giving text a sparkling, zig-zag texture at larger sizes. Numerals share the same tapered construction and sharp finishing, helping headlines and pull quotes feel cohesive. The sample text indicates strong presence in large settings where the faceting and terminal details remain clear.
