This typeface pairs very thin hairlines with stronger vertical strokes and flared terminals that taper into sharp, wedge-like endings. Serifs and stroke endings feel sculpted rather than bracketed, giving many letters a subtle calligraphic sweep while staying structurally upright. Proportions are compact and vertical, with a tall lowercase presence and open counters that keep the texture from becoming dense. Curves (notably in O/Q and in the bowls of b/p) are smooth and taut, while diagonals in V/W/X resolve into pointed joins that reinforce the crisp, cut-paper look.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, posters, and brand marks where its sharp flares and contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for elegant packaging and event materials when set with ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and stylish, with a runway/editorial sensibility and a hint of classical inscriptional drama. The high-contrast shimmer and sharp terminals create a poised, premium feel that reads as confident and slightly theatrical rather than cozy or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-forward serif voice built on high contrast and flared, calligraphic terminals. It aims for sophistication and visual sparkle, balancing a restrained upright structure with expressive stroke endings for memorable display impact.
The numerals mirror the same contrast and flare behavior, with slender strokes and distinctive, tapered entry/exit points that suit display settings. In text, the rhythm is consistent and vertical, and the fine hairlines contribute a bright, refined page color when sized generously.
