A sculpted serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline terminals. Strokes often flare into wedge-like feet and pointed entry/exit strokes, giving many letters a chiseled, calligraphic silhouette rather than fully bracketed book serifs. The proportions are compact with tall capitals and a slightly condensed stance, while curves (C, O, S) show strong stress and pronounced contrast. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure but with distinctive, high-impact details such as a single-storey g, a looped descender on q, and crisp, tapered joins that create a lively rhythm.
Best used in headlines, mastheads, and short editorial settings where its sharp contrast and distinctive flared serifs can print large and clean. It also suits branding and packaging that aims for a premium, boutique feel, especially when paired with a simpler text companion for longer reading.
The overall tone is high-fashion and editorial, combining elegance with a slightly eccentric, theatrical edge. Its sharp contrast and flared detailing feel luxurious and attention-seeking, suited to display where sophistication is meant to be noticed rather than understated.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a high-contrast serif through a more sculptural, flared construction, maximizing elegance and visual drama. It prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and striking stroke transitions for display typography over neutral, continuous text color.
The numerals echo the same sculpted contrast, with narrow, vertical figures and delicate hairlines that read best at larger sizes. Spacing appears measured but tight enough that the dramatic stroke transitions and pointed terminals remain the dominant visual feature.
