A decorative serif with high contrast behavior and strong modulation from thick verticals to razor-thin hairlines. The design emphasizes sharp, triangular wedge serifs and tapered terminals, with frequent “cut-in” notches and pointed joins that create a faceted, chiselled look. Curves are smooth but often finish in crisp, angled tips, while stems remain relatively straight and commanding, producing a poised vertical rhythm. Capitals read statuesque and fashion-led, and the lowercase keeps a compact, elegant footprint with small details that add sparkle at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion or beauty branding, poster titles, and premium packaging where its sharp terminals and high-contrast detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, but its fine details suggest using generous sizes and comfortable tracking rather than long, small text blocks.
The overall tone is polished and couture-leaning, mixing classic serif sophistication with a slightly theatrical, razor-edged attitude. It feels premium and contemporary, like a modern editorial face that’s been sharpened into something more distinctive and attention-seeking.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver an editorial-luxury impression while standing apart from conventional didone-style serifs through distinctive wedge serifs and carved, angular terminals. The intention seems focused on creating a memorable, high-end voice for titles and brand marks without sacrificing overall readability at display sizes.
Many letters show deliberate asymmetries and sculpted negative spaces—especially where bowls and diagonals meet—which adds visual tension and a signature “slice” motif. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with pointed terminals and high-contrast curves that suit titling more than dense tabular settings.
