This serif shows extreme thick–thin modulation with narrow hairlines and dense, weighty verticals, producing a distinctly sculpted texture. Stroke endings flare into pointed, wedge-like terminals and tapered serifs rather than rectangular slabs, giving the outlines a cut, chiseled feel. The forms lean toward a didone-like construction with high vertical stress, compact joins, and crisp triangular details in letters like K, V, W, and y. Spacing reads moderately tight in text, and the overall silhouette is clean and upright with a controlled, editorial rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and short bursts of text where contrast and sharp flares can read clearly. It can add a premium, editorial voice to fashion/beauty branding, luxury packaging, and event or cultural posters; for longer passages it will work best at comfortable sizes with generous leading.
The tone is polished and dramatic, with a high-fashion, magazine-ready presence. Its sharp flares and stark contrast suggest formality and display sophistication rather than casual warmth, making it feel premium and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum elegance and impact through extreme contrast and flared, tapered terminals, blending classical serif structure with a more cut, contemporary sharpness. It prioritizes visual drama and brand character over neutrality, aiming to stand out in display-led typography.
Lowercase includes prominent teardrop/ball-like dots on i and j, and several characters show pronounced triangular notches and angled entry/exit strokes that amplify the crispness. Numerals are similarly stylized, with high contrast and sweeping curves that match the letterforms’ theatrical, sculptural character.
