A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout. Serifs read as sharp, wedge-like terminals with a slightly calligraphic taper, giving stems and joins a carved, fashion-oriented feel. The overall drawing is compact and sturdy in the thick strokes while the hairlines stay crisp, producing a bright, sparkling texture at display sizes. Curves are smooth and full, counters are relatively open, and the lowercase shows a prominent presence with a lively rhythm across word shapes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and other display applications where contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It can support distinctive branding—especially for fashion, culture, and premium packaging—where a refined but forceful serif voice is desired.
The typeface conveys an editorial, high-style tone—confident and polished, with a hint of theatrical flair. Its sharp terminals and contrast add sophistication and drama, making it feel suited to premium, curated visual identities rather than utilitarian settings.
Likely designed to merge classic serif structure with flared, tapered endings to create a contemporary editorial look. The intention appears to prioritize visual impact and elegance through contrast, sharp finishing, and a lively, sculptural rhythm in text.
The numerals follow the same high-contrast, tapered logic, with strong silhouettes and tight internal detailing in the thinner strokes. Across the sample text, the contrast creates noticeable vertical emphasis and a distinctive cadence, especially in mixed-case lines and punctuation.
