This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared terminals and distinctly bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanically applied. Strokes transition quickly from hairline joins to weighty verticals, producing a crisp, sparkling rhythm in text. The capitals are tall and refined with sharp apexes and tapered diagonals, while the lowercase shows compact, rounded bowls, a two-storey a, and a lively, slightly calligraphic modulation. Numerals follow the same contrasty, tapered construction, with prominent curves and fine entry/exit strokes that keep the figures elegant and text-friendly.
It performs best in editorial settings such as magazine headlines, cover lines, and pull quotes where contrast and refinement are assets. It also suits luxury or cultural branding, invitations, and book covers, especially when set at medium to large sizes where the hairlines and flared details can remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and elevated, balancing classical bookish authority with a contemporary, runway-like sheen. Its sharp contrasts and flared finishing give it a dramatic, premium voice that reads as confident and intentional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on classical serif letterforms, using strong contrast and flared finishing to add drama and sophistication while maintaining an upright, text-capable structure.
Round letters (like O, C, and o) show pronounced thinning at the sides and fuller vertical emphasis, which increases sparkle but also makes spacing and size choices more important. Terminals frequently taper into pointed or subtly bulbous endings, reinforcing the chiseled, editorial character.
