This typeface combines sharply tapered main strokes with broadened, flared terminals, creating a sculpted serif silhouette with pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are wedge-like and often connect with gentle bracketing, while curves show crisp entry/exit points that emphasize the contrast. Uppercase forms feel compact and authoritative, with narrow joins and strong vertical stress; the lowercase has a traditional, two-storey a and g and a firm, slightly compact rhythm. Counters are relatively tight in letters like e and a, and the overall texture reads dark and high-impact at text and display sizes.
Best suited to display-forward applications such as magazine headlines, fashion or cultural posters, and premium branding systems where a dramatic serif voice is desired. It can work for short editorial subheads and pull quotes, especially when set with ample tracking and line spacing to preserve clarity.
The tone is elegant and theatrical, with a fashion-editorial polish and a sense of classic print heritage. Its sharp tapers and flared endings add drama and sophistication, giving headlines a premium, curated feel.
The design appears intended to deliver an expressive, high-end serif with flared terminals and strong contrast, balancing classical letterform cues with a more stylized, attention-grabbing texture for contemporary editorial and branding use.
Numerals follow the same flared, high-contrast logic, with the 2 and 3 showing pronounced wedge-like terminals and the 0/8 appearing full and weighty. In text, the strong modulation produces a lively sparkle, while the dark massing keeps lines visually commanding; it will benefit from generous spacing and comfortable line height in dense settings.
