This typeface is a high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and distinctly flared stroke endings that widen into sharp, wedge-like terminals. Capitals feel stately and formal, with generous curves in C/G/O/Q and crisp apexes in A/V/W, while the overall rhythm alternates between hairline connections and weighty verticals. The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish structure with ball-like terminals and teardrop joins in places, plus a compact, controlled curvature that keeps counters clean even at bold display sizes. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with fine hairlines and pointed finishing strokes for a polished, editorial texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and luxury branding where the high contrast can be showcased. It performs particularly well in large sizes for titles and short bursts of text; for longer passages, it’s more appropriate in spacious layouts where the hairlines have room to breathe.
The tone is elegant and assertive—luxury-minded, fashion-forward, and slightly theatrical due to the extreme contrast and sharp finishing details. It reads as classic and cultured, with a contemporary edge created by the sculpted flares and crisp, glossy silhouette in large sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a premium, high-fashion serif voice with calligraphic drama and sculpted stroke endings. Its flared terminals and stark modulation suggest a display-driven approach that prioritizes elegance, impact, and refined detail in prominent typographic moments.
Stroke endings often resolve into tapered wedges rather than bracketed serifs, giving the letterforms a carved, flared feel. The font’s contrast and fine hairlines create a shimmering texture in words, especially in mixed-case settings and in round letters where thin strokes become very delicate.
