This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings that transition into sharp, pointed terminals. Stems are predominantly straight and vertical, with hairline cross-strokes and thin entry/exit strokes that create a crisp, engraved rhythm. Uppercase forms are compact and formal with narrow bowls and tightly controlled counters; curves are smooth and taut, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) feel steep and precise. The lowercase maintains a balanced x-height with compact apertures and teardrop-like finishing on several letters, while the numerals echo the same sharp, tapered detailing and clear stroke modulation.
It is well suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, mastheads, cultural posters, and premium branding where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, especially in print or high-resolution digital contexts that preserve its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, conveying sophistication and a sense of fashion-forward drama. Its sharp terminals and pronounced contrast add a luxurious, slightly theatrical voice, while the disciplined proportions keep it authoritative and composed.
The letterforms appear designed to blend classical serif structure with a more modern, fashion-oriented sharpness, using flared terminals and strong contrast to create a distinctive, luxurious silhouette. The intent seems focused on impactful display performance with a refined, editorial character rather than utilitarian text setting.
The design relies on very thin hairlines and delicate terminals, which give it sparkle at display sizes and can feel more brittle as sizes get smaller. The rhythm is tight and vertically oriented, with a distinctly chiseled, flared finish that reads more sculptural than bracketed.
