A high-contrast serif with a distinctly sculpted, almost calligraphic construction. Stems are narrow and dark with hairline transitions, while many terminals finish in flared, wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than bracketed. Curves are taut and elliptical with pronounced thick–thin modulation, and several letters show gently sheared or tapered endings (notably in C/S and the diagonals of V/W/Y). The overall rhythm is compact and vertical, with tight internal counters and clean, crisp joins that keep the forms sharp at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and brand marks where its contrast and sculpted terminals can read clearly. It will perform especially well in fashion/editorial layouts, premium packaging, and poster typography; for longer passages, it benefits from generous size and spacing to preserve the hairline details.
The tone is elegant and assertive—luxury-leaning, editorial, and slightly theatrical. Its sharp hairlines and flared finishing strokes give it a couture, boutique feel, while the controlled geometry keeps it contemporary rather than nostalgic.
The design appears intended to deliver a premium, high-fashion serif voice with striking contrast and distinctive flared serifs, balancing classic display elegance with a more contemporary, cut-stone crispness.
The numerals echo the same contrast and flared finishing, with distinctive figures like a curvy 2 and a looped 8 that read as display-oriented. Lowercase forms maintain a restrained x-height with tall ascenders/descenders, and the overall texture becomes lively in text due to the pronounced modulation and sharp terminals.
