A sharp, sculptural serif with very strong thick–thin modulation and a compressed overall footprint. Strokes terminate in pointed, wedge-like serifs and tapered ends, with frequent pinched joints that create a carved, chiseled feel. Counters tend to be compact and vertically oriented, and many curves show an asymmetric stress that heightens the contrast and snap. In text, the rhythm is crisp and high-impact, with distinctive silhouettes and a slightly mercurial width behavior from glyph to glyph.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, magazine mastheads, poster typography, and brand marks where its high-contrast detailing can be appreciated. It can work well for luxury packaging and short, impactful copy, especially at larger sizes where the thin strokes and tapered terminals remain clear.
The font projects a fashion-forward, editorial tone—dramatic, refined, and a bit eccentric. Its intense contrast and dagger-like terminals feel luxurious and assertive, suited to statements rather than neutrality. The overall impression is elegant but theatrical, with an intentionally stylized personality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret high-fashion serif conventions with more aggressive tapering and sculpted terminals, prioritizing silhouette and contrast-driven drama. It aims to deliver a memorable, premium voice for editorial and branding contexts rather than a quiet text workhorse.
The numerals and lowercase show pronounced, sometimes swooping entry/exit strokes that read as decorative accents rather than purely functional details. Several capitals rely on extreme hairlines and narrow apertures, giving the design a strong display character and a striking black–white interplay.
