A high-contrast serif with a broad, expansive stance and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Vertical stems are dominant and terminate in subtly flared, wedge-like endings rather than blunt slabs, giving the texture a sculpted, chiseled feel. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with sharp joins and pointed terminals on several letters; the lowercase shows compact bowls and delicate hairlines that create a lively sparkle in text. Overall rhythm is elegant and airy, with strong letterform variety and a distinctly display-oriented presence.
Best suited for large-size typography where the fine hairlines and crisp terminals can be appreciated—magazine headlines, editorial pull quotes, luxury branding, and sophisticated packaging. It can also work for short passages or lead-ins when set with comfortable spacing and adequate size.
The tone is refined and theatrical: poised like a traditional book serif, but with enough contrast and sharpness to read as fashion-forward and premium. It suggests sophistication and formality, with a slightly dramatic edge that suits attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with flared, calligraphic finishing for a polished display voice. Its wide proportions and strong contrast prioritize elegance and impact over neutral, utilitarian text rendering.
In continuous text, the thin hairlines and sharp terminals create a bright, glittering texture, while the wide proportions keep word shapes open and stately. Numerals follow the same contrast and flare logic, appearing suited to prominent settings such as dates, prices, or section markers.
