A refined display serif with extremely high stroke contrast and crisp, tapered terminals. Stems read straight and vertical, while joins and curves show a subtle calligraphic modulation that creates a lively thick–thin rhythm. Serifs and endings often flare from the main strokes into sharp wedge-like points rather than flat slabs, giving the outlines a sculpted, knife-edge finish. Proportions lean elegant and slightly condensed in the lowercase, with compact counters and a consistent, upright structure that stays clean and controlled in text.
This font is best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other large-size editorial applications where its contrast and crisp terminals can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a dramatic, elegant serif presence.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a dramatic, editorial sheen. Its sharp contrast and flared endings evoke fashion publishing and luxury branding, while the steady, upright stance keeps it feeling contemporary rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif with flared, pointed endings that heighten sophistication and visual drama. It aims for a polished, print-forward rhythm that feels luxurious and authoritative in display typography.
In the sample text, the strong contrast creates pronounced vertical emphasis and bright hairlines, especially around round forms and diagonals. The numerals and capitals carry the same polished, high-fashion finish, with pointed details that add sparkle at larger sizes.
