A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered, slightly flared stroke endings and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are crisp and bracketed, often resolving into pointed terminals that give strokes a carved, faceted feel. Capitals are stately and vertically oriented with strong hairlines in joins and diagonals, while the lowercase shows compact forms with sturdy stems and small, controlled apertures. Numerals carry the same chiseled rhythm, with firm verticals and delicate connecting strokes that keep the overall texture lively and refined.
Best suited to display and short-form typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion or luxury branding, and poster titles where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for section openers or larger subheads in editorial layouts, provided line spacing and rendering preserve the finer strokes.
The tone is elevated and theatrical, projecting a sense of luxury and editorial authority. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast read as fashion-forward and premium, while the underlying proportions maintain a traditional, bookish seriousness.
The design appears intended to combine a classic serif foundation with expressive, modern sharpening and flared endings, creating a refined display face that feels premium and attention-grabbing without abandoning traditional typographic cues.
In text settings the font produces a rhythmic, sparkling line due to very thin hairlines against heavy stems, especially in letters with diagonals and curved joins. The distinctive pointed terminals and flared stem endings add character that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes.
