A sculptural display serif with extremely sharp contrast between hairlines and main strokes, paired with pronounced flare at many stroke terminals. The letterforms feel wide and generously spaced, with tall capitals and a normal-to-moderate x-height that keeps lowercase readable while maintaining a high-fashion silhouette. Curves are smooth and taut, counters are open, and joins are clean, giving the design a polished, precise rhythm. Numerals and capitals carry the most drama, with thin linking strokes and bold, teardrop-like or blade-like terminals that create a distinctive, chiseled texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent titling where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, beauty/fashion editorial design, premium packaging, and posters that benefit from a refined yet distinctive serif voice.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, leaning toward fashion and editorial luxury. Its stark contrast and flared endings introduce a sense of ceremony and sophistication, with a slightly avant-garde edge that feels curated rather than casual.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary high-contrast serif with expressive flared terminals, combining classic elegance with a modern, graphic crispness. Its proportions and detailing suggest an emphasis on impact and sophistication in display typography rather than plain, utilitarian text.
In paragraph-like settings the strong contrast creates a lively sparkle, while the flared terminals add a calligraphic, almost engraved finish. The design reads best when allowed air—larger sizes, comfortable tracking, and clean contrast—so the hairlines and delicate joins remain clear.
