A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, hairline joins, and crisp wedge-like terminals. Serifs are sharp and often flared, with a sculpted, slightly calligraphic feel at stroke endings and in entry/exit points. Curves are full and rounded, while some diagonals and joins form pointed, ink-trap-like notches that add bite and texture. The overall rhythm is wide and emphatic, with strong black shapes balanced by delicate hairlines that create a lively, editorial page color.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, mastheads, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp terminals can read as intentional detail. It can also work for short editorial decks and pull quotes, especially when generous tracking and leading allow the hairlines and notches to breathe.
The tone is confident and luxe, evoking fashion spreads and high-end editorial typography. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast feel glamorous and theatrical, while the controlled structure keeps it polished and authoritative.
This design appears intended to modernize classic serif construction with fashion-oriented proportions and heightened contrast, delivering a premium, attention-grabbing texture. The distinctive wedge terminals and sculpted joins suggest a focus on expressive display typography that still retains a conventional serif backbone for editorial use.
In text, the weighty main strokes can dominate at larger sizes, and the very fine hairlines and tight notches become more noticeable as detailing, giving the font a distinctive, slightly exotic sparkle. Numerals and punctuation share the same sculpted contrast and sharp finishing, reinforcing a consistent display-forward personality.
