This serif design uses crisp, wedge-like serifs and sharply tapered terminals that create a cut-paper, faceted look. Strokes often swell and pinch through curves, giving counters a sculpted, teardrop quality, while horizontals and verticals stay clean and decisive. The uppercase shows classical proportions with distinctive, sliced-in curves (notably in C, G, S, and Q), and the lowercase continues the same carved rhythm with compact bowls and narrow apertures. Numerals are equally stylized, with dramatic diagonals and tapered ends that emphasize the font’s ornamental construction without becoming overly busy.
Best suited to display applications such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion or beauty branding, poster titles, and premium packaging. The distinctive terminals and sculpted curves help it stand out in short to medium runs of text, particularly at larger sizes where the detailing remains clear.
The overall tone is refined and fashion-forward, mixing classical serif elegance with a contemporary, graphic sharpness. It reads as curated and premium, with a slightly theatrical edge that feels at home in magazine culture and boutique branding.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through decorative, wedge-cut terminals and sculpted curves, delivering an upscale voice with modern graphic tension. Its construction prioritizes recognizable elegance while adding a signature, high-style texture for display typography.
The letterforms rely on contrast-by-shape rather than heavy stroke modulation: many joins and terminals are intentionally pinched, producing a consistent, chiseled texture across text. In continuous reading, this creates a lively sparkle and a distinctive silhouette, especially in large sizes.
