A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty main strokes, drawing a sharp light–dark rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. Stems often finish in subtly flared, wedge-like terminals rather than flat slabs, giving the outlines a carved, calligraphic feel. The capitals are wide and stately with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase keeps a relatively compact, readable structure with pointed joins and tapered details. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction, with fine entry/exit strokes and pronounced thick–thin transitions.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine covers and section openers, brand wordmarks, premium packaging, and campaign posters. It can work for short editorial passages when set with adequate size and spacing, where its contrast and crisp detailing remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, projecting a luxury editorial voice associated with fashion, culture, and premium branding. Its sharp contrast and elegant tapering feel formal and confident, with a slightly theatrical edge that commands attention at display sizes.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic high-contrast serif construction with contemporary sharpness, using flared terminals and tapered details to heighten elegance and visual impact. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and refined sparkle for attention-grabbing typography.
In paragraph settings the contrast creates a lively texture, but the finest hairlines and narrow connections make the design feel most comfortable when given enough size and printing/rendering clarity. The flared endings and pointed terminals add sparkle and a distinctive silhouette without becoming overly ornate.
