A crisp, high-contrast serif with finely tapered hairlines and weighty vertical stems that create a bold, sculpted rhythm. Serifs read as sharp, wedge-like terminals with minimal bracketing, giving many letters a chiseled, faceted look. Proportions feel generously wide with stable, upright construction; counters are relatively open, while joins and curves tighten into pointed transitions. The lowercase shows a compact, editorial texture—especially in a, e, s, and g—while capitals maintain strong, formal silhouettes with emphatic strokes and triangular finishing details.
Best suited to display and headline work where its contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated—magazine titles, editorial spreads, luxury branding, packaging, and campaign typography. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers, especially when given ample size and comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is polished and commanding, balancing classic bookish credibility with a fashion-forward edge. Its sharp terminals and extreme stroke contrast add drama and a sense of luxury, making the voice feel deliberate, confident, and slightly theatrical.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary interpretation of a classic serif: traditional proportions and upright structure paired with dramatic contrast and knife-edged terminals for modern editorial impact.
At larger sizes the thin strokes and needle-like tips read as elegant detailing, while in dense settings the strong contrast and sharp joints can create a lively, sparkling texture. Numerals and capitals carry the same angular finishing cues, keeping headlines consistent and assertive.
