A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered terminals and flared stroke endings that create a sculpted, chiseled silhouette. Vertical strokes dominate, while hairlines are extremely fine, producing a crisp rhythm and striking black–white patterning in text. Serifs read as wedge-like and directional rather than bracketed slabs, and many joins resolve into pointed, triangular details that emphasize the font’s angularity. Proportions feel moderately wide with a steady x-height, and curves are tight and controlled, giving counters a refined, formal shape.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style typography, and branding where high contrast and sharp finishing can read cleanly. It can deliver a strong upscale presence on posters, covers, and logotypes, especially when used at larger sizes where fine hairlines and tapered details remain distinct.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, pairing classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward edge. Its extreme contrast and sharp detailing add drama and sophistication, making it feel premium and attention-grabbing rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classic serif construction, using flared endings, razor hairlines, and assertive wedge serifs to maximize elegance and impact. It prioritizes visual drama and refinement, creating a signature look for display-oriented typography.
In the sample text, the hairlines and pointed terminals become especially prominent, creating a lively texture with a slightly spiky sparkle at display sizes. The numerals and capitals carry the same engraved-like contrast and angular finishing, reinforcing a cohesive, refined voice across the set.
