This serif features pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, knife-like hairlines and weighty vertical stems. Serifs read as sharp and slightly flared, with tapered entry/exit strokes and wedge-like finishing that creates a sculpted, chiseled impression. Counters are generous and rounded, while joins and terminals stay clean and decisive, producing a strong black-and-white rhythm. Overall proportions feel expansive with ample internal space, giving large-size settings a confident, poster-like presence.
Best suited to display contexts such as magazine headlines, editorial pull quotes, fashion and luxury branding, and poster titling. It can also work for short subheads and large captions where its contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated without crowding.
The tone is poised and high-end, blending classical bookish formality with a distinctly dramatic, editorial punch. Its sharp detailing and strong contrast project confidence and sophistication, leaning toward fashion, art, and culture rather than utilitarian text neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif with a refined, premium voice—combining classic letterform foundations with sharpened terminals and emphatic stroke modulation for standout typography in contemporary layouts.
In the sample text, the heavy verticals and fine hairlines create lively sparkle, especially around bowls and diagonals where the tapering becomes more noticeable. The figures follow the same sculpted contrast, reading best when given room to breathe and enough size for the thin details to stay clear.
