A sculpted serif with pronounced flaring at stroke endings and sharp, wedge-like terminals that give letters a carved, display-oriented presence. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with elegant transitions from thicker stems into fine hairlines, creating a lively but orderly rhythm across words. Uppercase forms feel statuesque and slightly condensed in impression, while the lowercase shows a traditional structure with a relatively compact x-height and crisp joins. Numerals echo the same chiseled logic, with pointed diagonals and tapered apertures that maintain a consistent, stylish texture at larger sizes.
Best suited for headlines, magazine and editorial typography, brand marks, and high-end packaging where its sharp terminals and flared endings can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or deck text, particularly when generous size and spacing preserve the delicate details.
The overall tone is polished and fashion-forward, mixing classical serif dignity with a contemporary sharpness. Its pointed terminals and flared strokes add drama and sophistication, reading as luxurious, curated, and intentionally designed rather than utilitarian.
The font appears designed to deliver a luxurious, contemporary-serif voice by combining classical proportions with flared, chisel-like terminals and controlled contrast. Its intention is to stand out in display settings, providing a distinctive, couture-like texture while remaining readable and structured.
The design leans on negative space and tapered details to create sparkle, especially in letters with diagonals and bowls (e.g., V/W/X, S, and the round letters). In longer text the texture remains even, but the many fine tips and flares make it feel more like a headline face than a quiet workhorse.
