A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and crisp, hairline connections. The letterforms show pronounced thick–thin modulation with wedge-like terminals that broaden as they meet the baseline and cap height, producing a carved, chiseled feel. Serifs are sharp and directional rather than bracketed, and curves are taut with narrow joins and fine apertures that emphasize a vertical, polished rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly condensed in presence, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with lively, calligraphic detailing in bowls and descenders.
This font excels in display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and campaign typography where contrast and sophistication are desired. It can work for short editorial subheads and pull quotes, especially with generous spacing and high-quality reproduction.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, balancing classical poise with modern drama. Its stark contrast and blade-like serifs create a sense of glamour and precision, lending an assertive, high-end voice suited to display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-fashion interpretation of classical serif forms, using flared terminals and extreme contrast to create a distinctive, sculptural silhouette. Its construction prioritizes visual impact and refined detail over neutral, long-form text economy.
The numerals mirror the same extreme contrast and tapered detailing, with especially delicate diagonals and thin cross-strokes. In text, the strong vertical stress and sharp terminals create a striking texture, but the hairlines and tight internal spaces make it read best when given room and size.
