A razor-sharp display serif built around extreme thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline joins. The capitals are tall and stately with finely tapered terminals and subtle flaring where strokes meet, creating a chiseled, high-fashion finish rather than blunt bracketed serifs. Round letters (C, O, Q) show smooth, elliptical bowls with precise stress and very thin inner curves, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X) snap to needle-like points. Lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with narrow apertures and elegant, lightly curved entry/exit strokes; the two-storey g and the looped y introduce a touch of calligraphic movement without breaking the overall crispness. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slim hairlines and bold verticals that read best at larger sizes.
Well suited to magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and high-impact headlines where contrast and detail can shine. It can also work for short pulls, decks, and opening lines in editorial layouts, but will be more comfortable in larger sizes than in long, small text settings.
The font projects a polished, luxurious tone with a theatrical contrast that feels couture and editorial. Its sharp terminals and poised proportions convey sophistication and formality, with a slightly dramatic, poster-ready presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on high-contrast, calligraphy-informed serif letterforms with flared, sculpted endings. It prioritizes elegance and visual drama, emphasizing sharp detail, refined curves, and a strong vertical rhythm for display-centric typography.
Spacing appears carefully balanced for display use: stems feel dense while hairlines remain airy, producing a rhythmic sparkle in text. The design leans on fine details—especially in joins, diagonals, and terminals—so the character is most evident when printed or set at headline sizes.
