A high-contrast serif with strongly tapered strokes and crisp, wedge-like serifs that often resolve into pointed, triangular feet. Curves are full and round, while key joins and terminals sharpen into knife-like details, creating a lively interplay between thick verticals and hairline connectors. The uppercase has a stately, display-forward build with pronounced serifs and confident spacing; the lowercase keeps a traditional structure with compact counters and visible stroke modulation. Figures and punctuation echo the same contrast and angular finishing, with several numerals showing elegant curves and thin linking strokes that read best at larger sizes.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and short editorial passages where contrast and sharp finishing can be appreciated. It can also support upscale branding and packaging—especially for fashion, beauty, and cultural projects—where a classic serif with extra drama is desirable.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, with a dramatic, high-fashion sparkle that feels at home in magazine typography. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast add a hint of theatricality, while the underlying proportions keep it grounded in a classic, cultivated voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with heightened contrast and sculpted terminals, bridging familiar bookish forms with a more display-oriented, contemporary polish.
Diagonal letters and pointed terminals (notably in forms like A, V, W, and y) emphasize crisp geometry, while round letters such as O, Q, and g lean into smooth, high-contrast calligraphic rhythm. In dense settings the hairlines and tight inner spaces can visually fill in, so it benefits from generous size, leading, or tracking when used for text blocks.
