A display-oriented serif with extremely pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flared stroke endings that read as sharp wedge-like terminals rather than bracketed slabs. The letterforms are built on a vertical, high-waisted structure with small, incisive serifs and frequent triangular cut-ins at joins and apertures, creating a faceted, chiseled rhythm. Curves are taut and clean, counters are relatively compact, and many glyphs show strong stress with thin hairlines that snap into heavy stems. In text, the texture is assertive and contrasty, with lively, slightly irregular widths across characters that adds a dynamic, high-fashion cadence.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines and sharp flares can reproduce cleanly—magazine headings, fashion and beauty branding, premium labels, and striking poster typography. It can work for short pull quotes or titling in editorial layouts, but the intense contrast and tight details favor display settings over long-form text.
The overall tone is elegant but forceful, combining classic serif dignity with a theatrical, modern edge. The sharp terminals and dramatic contrast evoke fashion mastheads, luxury packaging, and editorial headlines where a confident, premium voice is desired.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual drama through extreme contrast and flared terminals, creating a refined yet attention-grabbing serif for contemporary editorial and brand applications.
Capitals feel especially monumental, with pointed apexes and crisp beak-like details, while lowercase forms keep the same sculpted contrast and tight apertures for a consistent, branded look. Numerals follow the same flare-and-wedge logic, maintaining a cohesive, high-impact texture in mixed copy.
