This typeface presents a high-fashion serif structure with extremely thin hairlines paired against stronger verticals and a distinctly flared behavior at many terminals. Serifs and stroke endings often taper into sharp, triangular wedges, giving the outlines a crisp, chiselled feel rather than soft bracketed transitions. Curves are smooth and controlled with a slightly calligraphic stress, and round letters maintain a poised, open silhouette. Lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with long, elegant ascenders/descenders, and the overall rhythm feels spacious, helped by wide capitals and generous internal counters.
Best suited to display settings where its hairline detail and sharp flares can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury branding, and large-format promotional typography. It can also work for short, high-impact subheads or pull quotes where an elegant, high-contrast voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a dramatic, couture-like contrast that reads as premium and deliberate. Its sharp terminals and airy hairlines add a sense of precision and sophistication, evoking contemporary editorial design and upscale branding rather than utilitarian text typography.
The design appears intended to deliver an upscale, editorial serif with pronounced contrast and signature flared terminals, balancing classical proportions with a modern, razor-sharp finish. It prioritizes visual refinement and distinctive texture for prominent typographic moments.
In the samples, the thinnest horizontals and hairlines become a defining visual feature, creating a sparkling texture at display sizes. Several characters show distinctive wedge-like finishing strokes (notably in capitals and in letters like a, t, and y), which reinforces the flared identity and adds personality without becoming ornamental. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and tapering, matching the letterforms’ sheen.
