A high-contrast display serif with razor-thin hairlines set against bold, sculpted main strokes and a distinctly flared, calligraphic finish. Serifs are hairline and sharp, often resolving into tapered points rather than blunt brackets, while joins and curves show pronounced tension and crisp transitions. Capitals feel stately and wide-set with generous internal space, and lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with elegant ascenders and descenders. Figures and punctuation follow the same cut-paper crispness, with prominent thick–thin modulation and occasional asymmetric, flicked terminals.
Best used for headlines, magazine typography, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp finishing can be appreciated. It also suits luxury packaging and poster work, especially when set with ample tracking and comfortable line spacing to preserve the hairlines and fine joins.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, projecting fashion-forward sophistication with an editorial bite. Its stark contrast and knife-edge details read as upscale and intentional, suited to bold statements rather than quiet utility.
Likely designed as a statement serif that mixes classical, engraved proportions with modern high-contrast glamour. The flared stroke endings and incisive serifs appear intended to deliver impact, elegance, and a distinctive editorial voice at display sizes.
The design’s rhythm comes from alternating solid verticals and near-invisible connecting strokes, creating sparkle at larger sizes and a highly stylized texture in paragraphs. The flared terminals and pointed serifs contribute a slightly Baroque, engraved feel, while maintaining clean, contemporary outlines.
