This typeface is a sharply contrasted serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than bracketed. Stems are sturdy and vertical while hairlines taper quickly into pointed terminals, creating a crisp, high-fashion rhythm across words. The capitals are stately and slightly narrow in feeling, with elegant curves and tight apertures (notably in C, G, and S), while the lowercase keeps a traditional, text-serif structure with compact bowls and clear stress. Numerals and punctuation match the same chiseled logic, with smooth curves counterbalanced by razor-thin joins and finishing strokes.
Best suited to display sizes such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and high-impact posters. It can also work for short editorial decks and pull quotes where its contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated without thin details being overwhelmed.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical—polished enough for luxury contexts, but with an assertive, poster-like punch driven by its dramatic contrast and flaring. It reads as classic and editorial rather than friendly, lending a sense of ceremony and sophistication.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with a more contemporary, flared, sculptural finishing—delivering a luxury editorial voice with strong visual contrast and crisp, memorable silhouettes.
In longer settings the strong contrast creates a pronounced sparkle, especially where thin horizontals and sharp terminals repeat. The flared finishes and pointed details give many letters a slightly calligraphic, display-oriented presence even when set in paragraph-like lines.
