A high-contrast serif with tall proportions, crisp hairlines, and strong vertical stems that taper into subtly flared, bracketed endings. Serifs are sharp and triangular, giving terminals a chiseled, sculptural finish rather than flat slabs. Curves are smooth and controlled with a predominantly vertical stress, and the rhythm feels tight and compact, especially in the capitals. Lowercase forms maintain a moderate x-height with pronounced stroke modulation; details like the ear and beak-like terminals add a slightly calligraphic bite. Numerals follow the same display logic, with dramatic thick–thin transitions and elegant, pointed finishing strokes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, posters, and title treatments where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes when set large enough to preserve the hairline strokes.
The overall tone is poised and theatrical—confident, polished, and unmistakably editorial. Its sharp highlights and carved terminals suggest luxury and tradition while still feeling contemporary due to the clean, taut drawing.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-impact serif voice by combining classical proportions with exaggerated contrast and flared, sharply finished terminals. It emphasizes elegance and drama for modern editorial and brand-forward layouts.
In text settings the extreme contrast and fine hairlines create sparkling texture and strong word-shape, but the delicate joins and thin strokes imply it will perform best when given adequate size and breathing room. The family of forms is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with a cohesive set of distinctive, slightly spurred terminals that reinforce the font’s display-first personality.
