A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and swelling main strokes that subtly flare as they meet the terminals. Serifs are crisp and triangular, with pointed joins and knife-like finishing that creates a vivid light–dark rhythm. The proportions feel classical and slightly condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase keeps a steady, readable x-height and compact counters. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, mixing straight stems with teardrop-like curves and acute terminals for a distinctly sculpted texture.
Well-suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and magazine typography where contrast and personality are desired. It also fits branding and packaging that aims for a luxury or editorial feel, especially when set with generous spacing and careful hierarchy.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic, with a polished, editorial presence. Its sharp terminals and sweeping curves read as premium and style-forward, leaning toward fashion and culture contexts rather than utilitarian text.
The font appears designed to evoke a classic serif tradition through modern, high-contrast drawing and flared stroke endings, prioritizing elegance and impact. Its forms aim to deliver a distinctive, print-inspired texture that stands out in display applications while remaining structured and typographically disciplined.
The design relies on fine hairlines and tight apexes, so it benefits from comfortable sizes and clean printing or high-resolution screens. In dense settings the strong contrast and pointed details create a lively, sparkling texture that draws attention.
