A decorative serif with narrow proportions and sharply modeled, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show pronounced tapering and flared terminals, with many joins swelling into teardrop-like masses before pinching into thin entry/exit points. The rhythm is energetic and slightly irregular: counters tend to be compact, curves are tightly drawn, and several letters use pointed apexes and beak-like terminals that create a crisp, cut-paper silhouette. Numerals and capitals feel tall and statuesque, with a consistent pattern of thick vertical emphasis balanced by fine hairline-like wedges at terminals.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine/editorial titles, fashion or cultural posters, and brand marks where its sharp serifs and sculpted stroke modulation can be appreciated. It works well when given generous size and spacing, and when used for short passages that benefit from a distinctive, high-style texture.
The overall tone is elegant but assertive, mixing classical serif cues with a stylized, almost couture sharpness. It reads as dramatic and attention-seeking rather than quiet or utilitarian, lending a sense of luxury and curated sophistication.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif framework with more stylized, wedge-cut terminals and sculptural stroke transitions. Its narrow stance and pronounced, decorative finishing suggest a focus on creating a memorable display face for high-impact editorial and branding contexts.
In text, the strong terminal shapes and high-contrast moments can create a sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes where the tapered joins and sharp serifs are most legible. The design’s distinctive terminals and compact counters give it a recognizable voice that can dominate a layout if used too densely.
