A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and crisp wedge-like serifs. Strokes shift dramatically from hairline thins to robust verticals, producing a lively rhythm and a distinctly engraved, calligraphic feel. Capitals are elegant and relatively wide with generous inner counters (notably in C, O, and Q), while the lowercase shows compact, carefully modulated forms with tapered joins and pointed endings. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare, reading clean and display-oriented rather than utilitarian.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine spreads, and branding where a sophisticated, high-contrast serif can carry the visual identity. It also works well on premium packaging and invitations, especially in larger sizes where the hairlines and flared terminals remain distinct.
The overall tone is polished and aspirational, with a fashion/editorial sheen. Its sharp, shimmering contrast and flared endings convey refinement and ceremony, suggesting premium branding and high-end publishing rather than casual or technical settings.
The font appears designed to blend classic serif proportions with a more expressive, flared finishing, creating a modern editorial voice with a luxurious edge. Its strong contrast and crisp detailing prioritize visual impact and elegance in display typography.
The design emphasizes crisp apexes and thin cross-strokes, so it appears most confident when given enough size and spacing for the hairlines to breathe. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the flared stroke endings add a subtle warmth that keeps the contrast from feeling purely mechanical.
