A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared terminals that broaden into sharp wedge-like endings. The stroke modulation is extreme, pairing bold vertical stems with very fine hairlines, creating a glossy, polished rhythm in display sizes. Serifs read as pointed and tapered rather than bracketed blocks, and the overall construction feels crisp and carefully carved. Proportions lean wide with generous counters, while curves (C, G, S, O) show elegant tension and a refined, slightly calligraphic stress. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with pronounced thick–thin transitions and compact, tidy joins in letters like n, m, and h; figures follow the same dramatic contrast and poised stance.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, cover lines, and premium packaging. It can also work for posters and elegant title treatments where the flared serifs and high contrast can be showcased without losing the hairline detail.
The font conveys an editorial, high-fashion tone with a sense of prestige and drama. Its razor-thin hairlines and flared endings create a cultivated, boutique feel that suggests luxury branding and magazine typography. Overall, it reads confident and sophisticated rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to modernize classic high-contrast serif conventions with more sculptural, flared terminals and bold, simplified letterforms. It prioritizes visual drama and refinement for impactful display use, aiming for a contemporary editorial look with traditional serif authority.
The extreme contrast and fine hairlines make the design feel most at home at larger sizes, where the sharp terminals and internal shaping are clearly visible. The spacing and wide set give headlines a stately pace, and the uppercase particularly emphasizes a formal, poster-like presence.
