This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp hairlines and weight concentrated along vertical stems. Serifs are fine and tapered with a flared, chiseled feel, and many terminals end in pointed, triangular wedges rather than blunt slabs. Bowls and rounds are relatively compact and smoothly modeled, while joins and crotches stay sharp, giving the letterforms a carved, high-definition look. Proportions feel display-leaning: capitals are stately and narrowish with strong vertical emphasis, and the lowercase mixes firm stems with delicate connecting strokes for a lively, varied rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where its contrast and hairlines can remain clean—magazine layouts, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster titling. It can also work for pull quotes or mastheads where a sophisticated, high-impact serif is desired.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its sharp finishing and high contrast read as premium and formal, lending an upscale, classic voice that still feels contemporary through its crisp, sculptural detailing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum elegance and impact through extreme contrast, sharp finishing, and flared stroke endings that suggest a cut-stone or engraved sensibility. It prioritizes display clarity and stylistic presence over neutrality, aiming for a distinctive editorial voice.
The numerals match the display character, with bold verticals and very thin linking strokes that create striking sparkle at larger sizes. The lowercase includes distinct, characterful forms (notably the a, g, and y) that add personality while maintaining consistency with the flared, wedge-ended terminal language.
