A high-contrast serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and sculptural transitions between thick and thin strokes. Many joins show deliberate cut-ins and notched “ink-trap” style corners that create a crisp, chiseled rhythm at display sizes. Bowls and counters are relatively narrow and vertical, while curves often end in pointed or tapered tips rather than soft brackets. The lowercase features small, elegant forms with pronounced contrast and occasional ball-like terminals, giving the texture a patterned, almost stenciled sharpness in dense setting.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and brand identities where strong contrast and distinctive detailing are assets. It can also work for short pull quotes and packaging copy when set with comfortable spacing to preserve its sharp interior cuts.
The overall tone is bold and editorial: refined, fashion-forward, and slightly theatrical. Its carved details and emphatic contrast lend a sense of luxury and drama, while the crisp geometry keeps it contemporary rather than vintage-revival.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif through sharper, carved terminals and strategic notches that add personality and visual bite in large sizes. The goal seems to be a luxe display face that reads as both modern and expressive, with a signature texture that stands out in branding and editorial settings.
In the sample text, the repeated notches and sharp interior corners become a strong identifying motif, adding sparkle and texture but also making the face feel intentionally “designed” rather than neutral. The numerals and capitals carry the same cut and taper logic, supporting cohesive titling and headline work.
