A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and crisp, tapered joins. The letterforms alternate between hairline cuts and weighty verticals, producing a bold rhythm with sharp triangular terminals and wedge-like serifs rather than flat slabs. Curves are taut and elliptical, counters feel clean and controlled, and proportions vary noticeably across glyphs, giving the design an intentionally chiseled, display-forward texture. Numerals and capitals share the same cut-and-carved logic, with striking diagonal slices and dramatic thick–thin transitions.
Best suited to display roles such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, title treatments, and large-format posters where its hairlines and carved details can remain crisp. It can work for short, high-impact text blocks, but its dramatic contrast and sharp terminals make it most effective when given room to breathe.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, projecting a couture/editorial sensibility with a hint of classical inscription. Its sharp contrasts and sculptural terminals read as luxurious and assertive, designed to feel premium and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif structure with modern, cut-in detailing and flared terminals, creating a distinctive high-fashion display voice. Its consistent chiseled logic suggests an emphasis on visual signature and impact over neutrality.
In text, the strong contrast and frequent hairline details create a lively sparkle that rewards generous sizing and spacing. The distinctive notches and flares become a signature motif across both uppercase and lowercase, helping headlines feel cohesive and stylized.
