This typeface is a high-contrast serif with slender, tapered hairlines and prominent thick strokes that create a sharp light–dark rhythm. Stems frequently swell and then flare into pointed, wedge-like serif endings, giving the contours a subtly calligraphic, blade-cut feel rather than flat bracketed serifs. Proportions are condensed with tall capitals and compact lowercase, and the overall drawing favors crisp joins, narrow apertures, and tight interior counters. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare logic, reading cleanly at display sizes with sculpted curves and precise terminals.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, magazine titling, brand marks, and upscale packaging where its sharp contrast and flared endings can be appreciated. It can work for short text blocks or pull quotes at generous sizes and comfortable tracking, but it is visually optimized for impactful, high-visibility typography.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, projecting a couture/editorial sensibility with a touch of classic formality. Its strong contrast and sharp flares feel luxurious and assertive, suited to statements that should read as premium and intentional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with a more stylized, flared terminal treatment, producing an attention-grabbing display face with a premium editorial voice. The narrow proportions and pronounced light–dark modulation suggest a focus on elegance and visual drama in branding and titling contexts.
In text settings the contrast and narrow letterforms create a lively, sparkling texture, with verticals dominating and thin horizontals receding. The ampersand and several lowercase forms show pronounced tapering and pointed endings, reinforcing a stylized, fashion-forward character.
