This typeface is a high-contrast flared serif with sharply tapered joins and pronounced, wedge-like terminals. Stems often broaden into triangular flares rather than ending in bracketed serifs, giving strokes a chiseled, blade-cut feel. Curves are smooth but pinched at transitions, with thin hairlines and concentrated thick zones that create a crisp, rhythmic sparkle across words. Proportions are expansive and open, with generous counters and a measured, upright stance that reads cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and statement typography where the dramatic contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It works well for fashion and lifestyle editorial design, premium branding, packaging, and posters; for longer text, it is more comfortable when set large with ample spacing.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical: poised like a fashion masthead, yet energetic due to the sharp flares and dramatic thick–thin swing. It suggests luxury and editorial polish with a slightly avant-garde edge, balancing elegance with a more assertive, sculpted personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, display-focused serif voice by combining extreme contrast with flared, wedge-like terminals and refined curves. Its aim is to create a memorable silhouette and upscale presence while keeping letterforms structured and upright for clear word shapes.
Uppercase forms show distinctive triangular notches and flared stroke endings that become a consistent motif across the set, while lowercase maintains readability through open bowls and restrained modulation. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and pointed terminals that keep the system visually unified.
