A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and thick, sculpted stems that often end in flared, wedge-like terminals. Serifs read as pointed and chiseled rather than bracketed, giving strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. Counters are generally compact and the joins form crisp interior angles; several letters show small notches and cut-ins around stroke transitions that add sparkle and texture at display sizes. Overall proportions are sturdy and compact, with a rhythmic alternation of very thin connecting strokes and heavy verticals.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine titles, editorial headlines, fashion/beauty branding, posters, and impactful pull quotes. It can work for short bursts of text at larger sizes, where the fine hairlines and sharp terminals remain clear and the sculpted details read intentionally.
The tone is elegant and theatrical, combining luxury editorial polish with a slightly aggressive, sharpened edge. It feels classic in structure but stylized in detailing, projecting confidence and sophistication suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif with dramatic contrast and flared, wedge-like endings to create a more sculptural, contemporary display voice. Its detailing suggests a focus on visual punch and refined character over neutral text endurance.
The design’s delicate hairlines and sharp terminals create strong light–dark patterns, while the flared endings keep the heavy strokes from feeling blunt. The texture becomes notably lively in mixed-case settings, where the pointed serifs and cut-ins produce a distinctive, high-fashion sparkle.
