A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and swelling, flared terminals that read like chiseled or brush-pressed endings rather than bracketed serifs. Strokes transition quickly from thick to thin, producing sparkling counters and a crisp, engraved rhythm in text. The uppercase shows sculpted, wedge-like details and tight joins, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable x-height with lively modulation and occasional pointed entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same contrasty, stylized construction, with elegant curves and thin, cutting terminals.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, poster titling, and book or album covers where its contrast and sculptural terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, but its sharp hairlines and active texture make it less ideal for long, small-size reading.
The overall tone is bold and ceremonial, pairing elegance with a slightly gothic, storybook edge. It feels fashion-forward and theatrical, with a premium, headline-oriented presence that adds tension and drama to short text.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical serif construction through a modern, high-contrast lens, emphasizing flared terminals and carved, calligraphic cuts for a distinctive, premium voice.
Letterforms show deliberate, asymmetric flicks and tapered cuts at terminals that create a distinctive “blade” texture across words. The texture is dense and attention-grabbing, favoring impact over neutrality, especially where thin strokes approach hairline weight in larger sizes.
