This typeface is a high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and dominant verticals that broaden into subtly flared stroke endings. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like rather than blocky, giving the outlines a crisp, cut-in-stone feel. Curves are taut and smooth, with narrow joins and tapered entry/exit strokes that create a lively rhythm in text. Proportions feel slightly condensed in many capitals, while lowercase forms keep a balanced, readable structure with distinctly sculpted terminals and a confident, vertical stance.
It performs best in display contexts such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster titles where contrast and sharp finishing details can be appreciated. In longer passages it can create an upscale editorial texture when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, combining elegance with a slightly edgy sharpness. It reads as modern-classic and fashion-forward, lending a premium, editorial voice to headlines and display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-fashion serif voice: refined, high-contrast, and visually striking, with flared terminals that add sculptural character and a distinctive silhouette in both uppercase and lowercase text.
The letterforms show pronounced thin–thick transitions that amplify sparkle at larger sizes, especially in round characters and diagonals. Numerals and punctuation follow the same sculpted contrast and pointed finishing details, maintaining a cohesive, high-end texture across settings.
