A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and pronounced bracketed serifs that give the strokes a carved, tapering feel. Vertical stems read strong and glossy-black, while hairlines stay extremely thin, producing sharp internal sparkle and crisp joins. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with wedge-like details on diagonals and a clear modulation through bowls and counters. The overall rhythm is formal and steady, with compact, well-contained counters and a distinctly display-oriented presence in both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to display sizes such as magazine headlines, fashion and culture editorial, posters, and premium branding systems where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short deck copy, pull quotes, and packaging typography when set with comfortable spacing and printed or rendered at sufficient size.
The tone is polished and dramatic, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and flared endings feel theatrical yet controlled, suggesting luxury, heritage, and high-end print craft rather than casual or utilitarian UI typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical serif elegance by combining extreme stroke modulation with flared, sculptural terminals. It aims for strong vertical authority in caps and a refined, sparkling texture in text, prioritizing visual impact and sophistication in display applications.
In text settings the thin connecting strokes and delicate serifs become prominent, creating a lively shimmer that rewards generous sizes and clean reproduction. The numerals and capitals carry especially strong vertical emphasis, while rounded letters introduce soft, ornamental movement through terminals and curves.
