A high-contrast serif with a sculpted, flared construction: main stems are weighty while hairlines snap to very thin, creating a crisp, engraved rhythm. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like, often resolving as tapered points rather than bracketed slabs, and many joins show a calligraphic swell where strokes broaden toward terminals. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with a two-storey “a,” a pronounced ear on “g,” and a tall, narrow “f,” while round letters like “o” and “e” show tight apertures and strong thick–thin modulation. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast, with angled cuts and pointed terminals that keep the texture lively in display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, luxury branding, titles, and packaging where its sharp serifs and high contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads or hero text in premium layouts, but is less ideal for long passages at small sizes due to the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is confident and refined, balancing traditional serif formality with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and pointed details suggest prestige, ceremony, and editorial sophistication rather than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-fashion interpretation of a classic serif: bold vertical presence, razor-thin hairlines, and flared, chiseled terminals that add drama and distinction in prominent typographic roles.
In text settings the heavy vertical emphasis and needle-like hairlines create a striking sparkle, especially around diagonals (V, W, X) and curved joins (S, C, G). The distinctive flared stroke endings add personality, but the extreme contrast means it will read best when given enough size and breathing room.
