This typeface is a high-contrast serif with crisp, sculpted forms and distinct flare at stroke endings. Hairlines are extremely thin while main stems are robust, creating a sharp, glittery texture in text. Serifs read as tapered wedges rather than flat slabs, with pointed feet and beak-like terminals that give many letters a faceted, cut-stone feel. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively open, and the overall construction stays upright and formal with a slightly calligraphic stress.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as editorial headlines, fashion or culture magazines, premium branding, posters, and book-cover titling where its high contrast and sharp wedge terminals can be appreciated. It can work for short bursts of text (decks, pull quotes) when set with comfortable size and spacing to avoid hairlines filling in or disappearing.
The font conveys a polished, high-fashion tone—confident, dramatic, and refined. Its sharp terminals and pronounced contrast add a sense of luxury and ceremony, while the consistent rhythm keeps it composed rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial interpretation of classical high-contrast serif construction, adding a signature look through flared, wedge-like endings and crisp terminal shapes. The goal seems to be impact and sophistication, balancing formal proportions with distinctive, sculptural detailing.
In the caps, diagonal letters show striking triangular terminals, and rounded letters display strong thick–thin transitions that emphasize verticality. The lowercase keeps a steady, readable structure, but the extreme hairlines and pointed details make the face feel more display-forward than utilitarian at small sizes.
