A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stems and sharp, tapered endings that read as subtly calligraphic rather than purely geometric. Thick verticals anchor each form while hairline joins and delicate entry/exit strokes create a crisp, polished rhythm. Serifs are narrow and incisive, with many strokes widening into wedge-like terminals that give the letters a chiseled, fashion-forward profile. Curves are smooth and tense (notably in C, O, S), and diagonals in V/W/X show dramatic modulation, producing a lively light–dark pattern across words.
Well suited for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where high contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits branding systems for beauty, fashion, hospitality, and premium product packaging, as well as poster work that benefits from dramatic typographic texture.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a dramatic elegance that feels at home in editorial and fashion contexts. The sharp hairlines and flared stroke endings add a sense of precision and ceremony, while the strong vertical emphasis keeps the voice confident and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial serif with fashion-level polish: strong vertical structure for authority, paired with razor-thin hairlines and flared terminals to create sparkle and distinction. The goal is likely to provide a memorable display voice that elevates titles and brand statements through contrast and sculpted detailing.
The numerals mirror the letterforms’ contrast and tapering, with crisp hairline details and assertive thick strokes that help them feel display-oriented. In text, the shimmering contrast and distinctive terminals draw attention, making the face feel more suited to prominent typographic moments than quiet, utilitarian reading.
