A condensed, high-contrast serif with pronounced flaring where stems meet terminals and serifs. Thick verticals dominate while hairline horizontals and joins stay extremely thin, creating a sharp, chiselled rhythm. Curves are taut and slightly tapered, with small, refined apertures and crisp entry/exit strokes; counters read compact and elegant. The texture is punchy and display-oriented, with a lively, variable rhythm across widths and strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to large-size applications such as magazine headlines, fashion and culture editorial, striking posters, and upscale branding. It can also work for short bursts of text—pull quotes, deck heads, and packaging callouts—where its high contrast and condensed width create drama without needing much space.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, with a dramatic, fashion-forward presence. Its razor-thin details and sculpted flares give it a theatrical, high-end feel that reads as confident and formal rather than casual. The voice suggests prestige and classic refinement with a modern edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-impact display serif that combines classic high-contrast construction with distinctive flared terminals for a sculpted, contemporary signature. It prioritizes elegance and visual punch, aiming for a premium look in headline settings where thin details and tight proportions can be showcased.
In text, the narrow proportions stack into a dense, impactful column, while the hairline cross-strokes add sparkle at larger sizes. The numerals and capitals maintain the same stark thick–thin logic, producing a cohesive, poster-like color. Fine details (notably hairlines and flared terminals) are visually delicate and become a defining feature when given enough size and contrast.
