A sculpted display serif with extremely pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, tapered terminals. Stems often end in wedge-like, slightly flared stroke endings rather than flat slabs, while hairlines stay needle-fine and tightly controlled. The proportions lean narrow with tall capitals and a normal, slightly compact x-height; spacing feels deliberate, with strong vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and taut, and the overall drawing favors sharp joins and elegant tension in bowls and diagonals, giving the forms a precise, chiseled presence.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and short editorial passages where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It works well for branding and packaging in luxury, fashion, fragrance, jewelry, and premium hospitality contexts, and can add drama to posters and campaign typography.
The tone is polished and high-end, with the kind of theatrical contrast associated with fashion, beauty, and prestige editorial typography. It reads confident and formal, balancing classic serif cues with a sharper, more contemporary edge. The result feels luxurious and attention-grabbing without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-fashion serif voice: classic structure, amplified contrast, and tapered/flared endings that create a sculptural, premium feel. It prioritizes visual impact and refinement in display use while maintaining a disciplined, typographic rhythm.
In text settings the very fine hairlines and pointed terminals create a sparkling texture that rewards generous sizes and careful reproduction. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with distinctive angled cuts and sharp finishing that reinforce the display character.
