This is a high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and wedge-like terminals that read as sharp and decisive. Vertical stems are dominant and thick, while hairlines become extremely fine, creating a strong black–white rhythm across words. Serifs and terminals feel carved rather than bracketed, with tapered joins and pointed apexes on letters like A and V. The lowercase has a relatively tall x-height and compact counters, producing a dense, authoritative texture at text sizes while still clearly signaling display intent.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, and short editorial passages where the dramatic contrast can be appreciated. It works well for fashion and lifestyle magazines, luxury branding, premium packaging, and poster typography. In longer text, it will be most effective at larger sizes and with generous spacing to preserve the thin strokes.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, with an upscale, editorial voice. Its sharp tapering and dramatic contrast evoke fashion publishing, luxury packaging, and headline typography where sophistication and impact are desired. The crisp terminals add a slightly edgy, contemporary bite to an otherwise classical serif posture.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern high-fashion serif: strong verticals, razor-thin hairlines, and flared, chiseled terminals that amplify contrast and presence. It prioritizes impact and refinement, balancing classical serif structure with sharper, more sculptural finishing.
Round forms (O, C, e) show pronounced thick–thin modulation and tight apertures, while diagonals (K, X, Y) end in pointed, triangular cuts that heighten the sense of precision. Numerals appear similarly stylized, with bold vertical emphasis and fine connecting strokes, keeping the set visually consistent in dense settings.
