A sculptural serif with sharp wedge-like terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that create a carved, high-drama silhouette. The design shows pronounced thick–thin modulation, with hairline connections and sturdy main stems, plus crisp, triangular serifs that feel more cut than rounded. Curves are smooth and taut, counters are relatively open for the weight, and the rhythm alternates between broad vertical strokes and finely tapered joins, producing a lively, high-fashion texture in text. Numerals and capitals appear display-leaning in proportion, with elegant stress and confident vertical emphasis.
Best suited to display and editorial roles such as magazine headlines, fashion or culture spreads, premium packaging, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It can work for short text passages when set with comfortable size and leading to keep the hairlines from visually disappearing.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, pairing classic bookish cues with a contemporary, couture edge. Its sharp terminals and flared finishing strokes add a sense of luxury and intentionality, giving headlines a confident, editorial presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end serif voice by combining classical proportions and stress with more angular, flared finishing strokes. It prioritizes striking silhouette and elegant contrast for impactful typography in titles and brand-forward applications.
Several forms emphasize pointed, blade-like finishing strokes (notably on diagonals and curved joins), which can read as energetic and slightly aggressive at larger sizes. In dense settings the strong contrast and fine hairlines create a sparkling texture; generous spacing and adequate size help preserve the delicate details.
