A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and sculpted, flaring terminals that expand into sharp wedge-like serifs. Strokes snap from hairline-thin joins to heavy main stems, creating a crisp, chiseled rhythm and pronounced black/white interplay. Curves are taut and smooth with pointed beak-like details on several letters, while counters remain relatively open for a display-oriented silhouette. The lowercase shows sturdy, rounded bowls paired with thin entry/exit strokes, and the numerals follow the same dramatic modulation with angled, knife-edged finishing strokes.
Best suited for large-scale typography such as headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, posters, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and flared endings can read clearly. It can also work for short subheads or packaging display copy, but is less appropriate for long passages at small sizes due to the fragile hairlines and strong modulation.
The overall tone is assertive and refined, combining classic editorial gravitas with a slightly theatrical, couture edge. Its sharp terminals and extreme contrast read as premium and attention-seeking, suited to moments where typography is meant to feel designed rather than neutral.
The font appears designed to deliver a luxurious, high-impact serif voice by pairing classic proportions with exaggerated contrast and flared, knife-edged terminals. Its visual system prioritizes drama, clarity of silhouette, and a recognizable editorial signature.
The design relies on hairline connections and fine internal strokes, which heighten elegance but also make the thinnest parts visually delicate at smaller sizes or on low-resolution outputs. The letterforms feel intentionally sculptural, with a consistent flaring logic at stroke ends that reinforces the font’s distinctive voice.
