A sculptural serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a wide, expansive set. Stems and diagonals taper sharply into hairlines, while many terminals and serifs flare outward into wedge-like endings that feel carved rather than bracketed. Curves are generous and smooth, with crisp joins and pointed intersections on letters like V, W, and Y; the bowls and counters read open despite the heavy modulation. Lowercase forms keep a fairly steady x-height and show distinctive, slightly calligraphic details—single-storey a and g, a hooked f, and teardrop-like entry/exit strokes—creating an animated rhythm in text. Numerals echo the same contrast and flared finishing, with a bold, display-oriented presence.
Best suited for display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster typography where its contrast and wide proportions can read clearly. It can also work for short editorial blurbs or pull quotes when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, combining editorial polish with a sense of drama. Its sharp hairlines and flared stroke endings suggest luxury and high style, while the wide proportions give it a confident, poster-like impact.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-forward serif voice with strong contrast and expressive flared detailing, prioritizing visual impact and a crafted, boutique feel over neutrality.
In paragraphs the font creates strong vertical punctuation from thick stems against hairline connections, producing a lively, sparkling texture. The distinctive flared terminals are a defining motif across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping the design feel cohesive and intentional.
