A sculpted serif with sharply tapered terminals and pronounced flaring at the ends of stems, creating a chiseled, incised feel. Contrast is extreme, with hairline connections and heavy verticals that give letters a carved, high-fashion silhouette. Serifs are wedge-like and often asymmetrical, and many curves end in fine points that sharpen counters and apertures. Proportions are compact with sturdy capitals, while lowercase forms maintain a lively rhythm through crisp joins and distinctive, slightly calligraphic stress.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, and short editorial settings where its sharp contrast and flared endings can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefits from a refined, dramatic voice, and works well for logotypes and title treatments where distinctive letterforms are an asset.
The overall tone is dramatic and luxe, with an editorial polish that feels suited to fashion, culture, and premium branding. Its sharp terminals and high-contrast modulation add a sense of sophistication and intensity, reading as classic but attention-grabbing rather than quiet.
The design appears aimed at delivering a high-impact, contemporary-classic serif with an engraved, fashion-oriented character. By combining flared stroke endings with razor-thin hairlines and substantial main strokes, it emphasizes elegance and drama for display use.
In text, the dense black strokes and hairline details create strong word shapes but can produce sparkle at smaller sizes, especially around pointed joins and fine interior strokes. Numerals share the same carved contrast and stylized curves, giving figures a display-forward presence that matches the letters.
