This typeface presents as a high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stem endings and crisp, triangular wedge serifs. Strokes transition from very thin hairlines to stout main stems, creating a lively rhythm, while curves are clean and slightly tensioned rather than purely geometric. Terminals often finish in pointed, blade-like cuts, and the overall silhouette feels chiseled and controlled. Uppercase proportions read stately and compact, while the lowercase shows a moderate x-height with narrow joins and finely tapered details that keep counters open despite the contrast.
Best suited to display and headline work where its sharp serifs and high contrast can read cleanly—magazine titling, editorial feature headers, fashion and luxury branding, and poster typography. It can also work for short pull quotes or deck copy when set with comfortable spacing and not pushed to very small sizes.
The tone is refined and fashion-forward, with a dramatic, editorial sparkle created by the sharp serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. It balances classical authority with a slightly theatrical edge, feeling premium and attention-grabbing without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary editorial serif with a carved, flared-stem signature—aiming for premium impact, clear typographic hierarchy, and a distinctive, high-fashion presence in large-scale settings.
In text, the strong contrast and needle-like hairlines create crisp texture at larger sizes, while the flared stems add a distinctive, carved personality compared to more neutral modern serifs. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy verticals with delicate curved strokes for a polished, display-ready look.
