A sharp, high-contrast serif with strongly tapered hairlines and weighty, gently swelling stems that finish in flared, wedge-like terminals. Curves are sculpted and crisp, with pointed joins and narrow apertures that create a tight, energetic rhythm in text. Proportions feel slightly condensed in many letters, with a tall, stately cap presence and compact lowercase forms; counters are deep and often teardrop-shaped, emphasizing the inky black–white interplay. Numerals match the display-forward character, mixing strong vertical stress with fine, blade-like details.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and short blocks of display text where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It’s a strong choice for fashion and lifestyle editorial design, premium branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a dramatic, refined serif voice.
The overall tone is assertive and elegant, projecting a polished editorial attitude with a hint of theatricality. Its razor-thin hairlines and dramatic contrast give it a luxurious, fashion-oriented voice, while the flared endings add a crafted, old-world sophistication rather than a purely modern sharpness.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum visual impact through high-contrast strokes and sculpted, flared terminals, balancing classical serif cues with a crisp, contemporary sharpness. The goal seems to be a distinctive display serif that feels premium and editorial, creating a memorable typographic texture in titles and branding.
At larger sizes the design reads as highly sculptural, with distinctive, sometimes angular internal shapes that become part of the texture. In smaller settings the extreme contrast and tight apertures may demand careful sizing and spacing to preserve clarity, especially around the more intricate lowercase and figures.
