A high-contrast serif with strongly vertical stress, crisp hairlines, and dense, weighty stems. Serifs are sharp and often wedge-like, with bracketing that creates a carved, faceted feel rather than purely mechanical terminals. Curves show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with tight apertures and tapered joins that give counters a compact, elegant rhythm. The lowercase includes several distinctive, expressive forms (notably in a, g, and s), while the numerals mix sturdy bodies with fine, flicked details and ball-like terminals in places.
This font is best suited to display typography: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster titles where its contrast and sharp serif work can be appreciated. It can also serve for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when given enough size and spacing to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, leaning toward fashion and editorial sophistication. Its sharp serifs and extreme modulation add a sense of ceremony and high style, while the slightly idiosyncratic detailing keeps it from feeling purely classical. The result reads as confident and attention-grabbing, suited to statements rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-contrast serif for impactful display work, combining a classic vertical-stress foundation with sharpened, stylized terminals for a modern editorial edge. Its letterforms prioritize drama, elegance, and brand presence over long-form text neutrality.
At display sizes the hairlines and pointed terminals read cleanly and contribute to a crisp sparkle; in dense settings the tight apertures and strong contrast can make texture feel dark and emphatic. The face rewards generous tracking and leading, especially when set in all caps or bold headlines.
