This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings that feel chiseled rather than bracketed. Stems alternate between hairline thins and broad, ink-trap-free thick strokes, creating a sharp, glossy rhythm. Capitals are relatively wide and stately with pronounced vertical stress; curves are taut and clean, and crossbars and joins stay crisp. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with compact bowls, tapered entry/exit strokes, and small, wedge-like feet and terminals that read as subtle flares rather than flat serifs. Figures follow the same display-driven contrast and refinement, with elegant curves and distinct, narrow joins.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and magazine/editorial layouts where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, beauty and fragrance packaging, and sophisticated event materials. For long passages, it will read most comfortably when set with generous size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a dramatic, runway-like sheen. Its strong thick–thin modulation and flared endings evoke classic engraving and contemporary fashion typography, giving text a poised, high-end character. The mood is confident and formal, leaning more toward editorial sophistication than everyday utility.
The design appears intended as a modern display serif that blends classical high-contrast construction with distinctive flared terminals for a recognizable, premium voice. It aims to deliver drama and elegance in titles while maintaining enough structure to set short editorial passages cleanly.
In paragraph settings the contrast produces a lively sparkle, especially around rounded forms and tight apertures, while the flared terminals add a distinctive signature at word ends. The design feels optimized for larger sizes where hairlines and the delicate flare details can remain clear.
