This is a display-oriented serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast, sturdy verticals, and sharpened wedge-like endings that flare subtly at terminals and serifs. The letterforms are broad with a sculpted, chiseled rhythm, combining smooth curves (notably in rounds) with taut joins and angular cuts. Counters are relatively generous, while spacing and proportions emphasize punchy silhouettes and high-ink presence in headlines.
Best suited for headlines, magazine and newspaper display, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and striking packaging. It can also work for pull quotes, titling, and short-form collateral where a refined but assertive serif is needed; for longer text, it will be most comfortable in larger sizes with ample leading.
The tone is dramatic and editorial, mixing classical refinement with a slightly mischievous, contemporary edge. Strong contrast and crisp details create a luxe, fashion-forward feel that reads as confident and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence at large sizes, using extreme contrast and flared, wedge-like details to project a premium editorial voice. Its broad proportions and sculpted terminals prioritize distinctive shapes and character over understated text neutrality.
Diagonal strokes and pointed joins create lively sparkle, while rounded letters show strong internal contrast that produces a glossy, high-end texture. Numerals are equally bold and stylized, matching the display emphasis of the alphabet.
