A tightly set, right-leaning serif with striking thick–thin modulation and sharp, wedge-like terminals. Vertical strokes carry most of the weight, while hairlines are extremely fine, creating a crisp, high-tension texture. Serifs and stroke endings often flare or taper into pointed, ink-trap-like shapes, giving the forms a cut, chiseled feel rather than soft ball terminals. The proportions are compact and tall, with a steady rhythm in the uppercase and a slightly more calligraphic, angled energy in the lowercase; figures are similarly stylized with strong contrast and elegant curves.
Best suited to display settings where its hairlines and tapered details can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, theatrical posters, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or titles when given generous size and breathing room, but its dense rhythm suggests avoiding long body text.
The overall tone is bold and sophisticated, with a glamorous, runway/editorial attitude. Its sharp contrast and theatrical silhouettes feel assertive and high-end, evoking luxury headlines, classic display typography, and dramatic poster work.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxury, high-contrast display voice with a sculpted, flared-terminal serif language and a forward-leaning sense of speed. It prioritizes drama and elegance over neutrality, aiming for strong impact in titles and branding.
Counters tend to be narrow and elongated, which amplifies the vertical emphasis and makes the texture feel dense at larger sizes. The design shows intentional asymmetry in several joins and terminals, adding motion and a slightly hand-cut quality while remaining cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
