A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals that frequently flare as strokes approach their ends. Vertical stems are dominant and clean, while curves are tight and polished, giving letters a chiseled, high-definition silhouette. Serifs read as tapered and blade-like rather than bracketed slabs, with pointed joins and lively diagonals that create a slightly calligraphic edge. Uppercase forms feel stately and broad-shouldered; lowercase is compact with sturdy stems and distinctive, angular details (notably in letters like a, k, r, and t). Numerals follow the same sharp, high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and firm vertical stress.
Best suited to display typography where its high contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated—magazine headlines, editorial titling, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and logotypes. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, especially with comfortable tracking and ample leading.
The overall tone is refined and assertive—fashion-forward in contrast and finish, but grounded in classical book typography cues. The sharp terminals and flared endings add drama and a sense of craft, lending a premium, editorial voice that can feel ceremonial or luxurious depending on spacing and scale.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact serif voice by combining classical proportions with crisp, flared stroke endings and dramatic modulation. It prioritizes elegance and visual authority in display settings while maintaining a coherent rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
The spacing in the sample text reads on the generous side, helping preserve clarity despite the extreme modulation and needle-like details. Several letters show distinctive tapered entry/exit strokes that create a dynamic rhythm in setting, especially in mixed-case text.
