This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sharply tapered strokes and crisp, triangular wedge serifs. Curves are drawn with a distinctly calligraphic swell-and-thin rhythm, producing pointed joins and teardrop-like apertures in places. The overall construction feels sculpted rather than mechanical: stems can flare subtly into terminals, counters stay relatively compact, and round letters (like O and Q) show pronounced thick–thin modulation. Numerals follow the same chiseled logic, with strong vertical emphasis and fine, knife-like hairlines.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities where high contrast and distinctive serif detailing are an asset. It can work for short passages in editorial contexts at comfortable sizes, but its fine hairlines and stylized construction make it most effective for display and premium packaging applications.
The font conveys an editorial, fashion-forward elegance with a dramatic edge. Its sharp modulation and stylized terminals create a sense of sophistication and intentionality, reading as premium and curated rather than neutral. The overall tone sits between classic serif tradition and a contemporary, boutique display sensibility.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a high-contrast serif tradition with sharper, more sculptural terminals and wedge serifs, prioritizing visual character and elegance. It aims to deliver a recognizable display voice that still maintains a coherent, readable structure across the alphabet and figures.
In text, the strong contrast and pointed detailing create lively sparkle, while the distinctive wedge serifs add a decorative signature that becomes more apparent at larger sizes. The rhythm is energetic and slightly theatrical, with letterforms that feel individually carved yet consistently styled across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
