A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and sharp triangular entry/exit points. The letterforms emphasize verticality with hairline-thin connections and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation, producing a crisp, engraved feel. Serifs are minimal and often implied through flared terminals rather than bracketed slabs, and the curves (notably in C, G, O, S) are smooth and taut. Lowercase features a two-storey g with a prominent ear, a compact, airy e with a fine cross stroke, and a slender f and t with delicate, needle-like terminals. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast with fine hairlines and tapered joins.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine typography, posters, and brand marks where the dramatic contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short, prominent subheads and pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing and sufficient size.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a fashion-forward, editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrasts and refined detailing read as formal and premium, evoking classic print typography with a contemporary, polished edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-fashion display serif that blends classical proportions with flared, sharpened terminals for a more sculptural, modern impact. Its strong thick–thin rhythm prioritizes elegance and visual drama over utilitarian text neutrality.
Spacing appears relatively open in capitals, helping the wide proportions feel balanced despite the intense contrast. Hairline features are visually prominent throughout, so the design’s character is driven by clean reproduction of fine strokes and pointed terminals.
