This typeface is a sculptural, high-contrast serif built from bold, flared wedge terminals paired with extremely thin hairline joins and interior strokes. The letterforms lean on simplified, almost stencil-like construction: many glyphs read as large black masses with precise curved cut-ins, creating strong figure/ground effects. Bowls and counters are generous and often near-circular, while joins pinch to razor-thin connections that heighten contrast and add a brittle elegance. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the set, and several capitals (notably round forms) feel intentionally airy and open compared to denser, more blocky letters.
Best suited for headlines, magazine covers, lookbooks, and poster work where the exaggerated contrast and sculptural shapes can be appreciated. It can also work for branding and logotypes that want a distinctive, high-fashion voice, but it will typically need generous sizing and careful spacing for clarity.
The overall tone is editorial and fashion-forward, with a dramatic, gallery-poster presence that feels both refined and experimental. Its sharp contrast and ornamental negative space give it a luxe, attention-seeking character suited to statement typography rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif structure through a modern, decorative lens—using extreme contrast, flared wedges, and intentional negative-space carving to create memorable silhouettes. It prioritizes impact and stylistic uniqueness over conventional text durability.
The design’s identity comes from consistent flared terminals and repeated teardrop/triangular cut-ins that act like decorative notches. Small sizes may risk losing the finest hairlines, while larger settings emphasize the distinctive silhouette and striking black/white interplay.
