This serif has sharply modeled, wedge-like serifs and pronounced stroke modulation, with thick verticals and finely tapered hairlines. Terminals often finish in pointed or beaked shapes, giving the outlines a chiseled, slightly calligraphic feel rather than purely geometric construction. Curves are generously drawn with crisp joins, and the letterforms keep an overall open, wide stance while allowing per-glyph width to vary for a lively texture. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with strong ascenders and distinct, angular ear/terminal details, while numerals follow the same high-contrast, sculpted logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display typography, and brand marks where the sharp serifs and strong contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also works well for posters, chapter titles, pull quotes, and packaging where a refined but attention-grabbing serif voice is desired.
The tone is elegant and theatrical, combining classic serif authority with a more stylized, fashion-forward sharpness. Its pointed terminals and high-contrast rhythm read as premium and editorial, with a slightly dramatic flair that draws attention in short bursts of text.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional high-contrast serif with more pointed, sculptural terminals and flared serifs, balancing classic readability cues with a distinctive, stylized edge for display-led applications.
In the sample text, the high-contrast strokes and fine details remain crisp at display sizes, creating a strong black-and-white pattern and a distinctive silhouette per word. The spacing and varying glyph widths produce an animated rhythm that feels intentional and decorative without becoming chaotic.
