A high-contrast serif with a sculpted, flared stroke logic: vertical stems are strong while connecting strokes and serifs taper to hairline thins. The serifs read as sharp wedges and tapered fins rather than blunt slabs, with clean, pointed joins and a crisp overall finish. Proportions are classical and slightly narrow in the capitals, while lowercase forms keep a conventional x-height and show lively modulation in bowls and shoulders. Curves carry a vertical stress, and the numerals match the letterforms with similarly dramatic thick–thin transitions.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, subheads, mastheads, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It also works well for premium packaging and promotional materials that benefit from a refined, fashion-forward voice. For longer passages, it is most comfortable at larger sizes where hairline details remain clear.
The font conveys an editorial, high-fashion tone—polished, poised, and slightly theatrical. Its sharp tapering and pronounced contrast create a sense of luxury and authority, evoking magazine mastheads and formal branding rather than casual text.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical serif elegance, using pronounced thick–thin contrast and flared, wedge-like terminals to create a striking, high-end presence. It prioritizes impact and refinement, offering a strong typographic voice for titles and identity work.
In text, the high contrast and fine hairlines create a sparkling rhythm, especially in round letters and at serif tips. The overall color on the page is bold but punctuated by delicate details, which can emphasize hierarchy and add sophistication when set with generous spacing and sizes that protect the thinnest strokes.
