A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered stroke endings that flare subtly from the stems, giving a sculpted, chiseled feel. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and terminals come to fine points that create a lively sparkle in text. The proportions lean toward a display-oriented rhythm: strong vertical emphasis, compact internal counters in places, and slightly variable letter widths that add a refined, handcrafted cadence. Numerals follow the same sharp, tapered logic, with prominent contrast and clean silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other large-size typography where contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It also works well for luxury branding, packaging, and poster titles where a refined, high-impact serif is desired, while extended small-size text may need generous spacing to avoid hairline loss.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical—luxury-minded and attention-grabbing without feeling ornamental. Its sharp transitions and glossy contrast read as fashion-forward and editorial, with a confident, classic sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice with calligraphic energy and flared finishing, emphasizing sharp elegance and dramatic contrast for display-led typography.
In longer samples, the bright/dark pattern is pronounced: heavy verticals create strong stripes while the hairlines add delicate detail, especially in diagonals and cross-strokes. The flared terminals keep the forms feeling organic rather than strictly bracketed, helping large sizes look lively and distinctive.
