This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and sharply tapered joins. Vertical stems read strong and stable while hairlines stay extremely thin, producing a crisp black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are wedge-like and often blended into the main strokes, giving terminals a carved, slightly calligraphic feel rather than a strictly bracketed or slab construction. Proportions lean broad in the capitals with generous bowls and open counters, and the lowercase maintains a steady, contemporary text color with compact, neatly finished details.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, premium branding, and packaging where sharp contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the extreme hairlines and flared detailing are most effective when given enough size and spacing.
The overall tone is poised and dramatic, with a refined, editorial polish. Its sharp contrasts and flared terminals suggest luxury and ceremony, while the clean upright stance keeps it feeling modern and controlled rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif authority with a more contemporary, sculptural finish. By pairing strong verticals with razor-thin hairlines and flared terminals, it aims to deliver an attention-grabbing, high-end voice for modern editorial and brand typography.
Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with pronounced thick–thin transitions and crisp finishing at terminals. The rhythm across words in the sample text is lively due to the contrast and flaring, making it visually engaging at display sizes.
