A sculptural display serif with extremely pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flared stroke endings that create sharp wedge-like terminals. The overall rhythm is vertical and stately, with broad, weighty main stems contrasted by hairline joins and refined, pointed serifs. Counters are generous and clean, while curves (notably in C, G, S, and the round numerals) show a controlled, slightly calligraphic stress. The lowercase mixes sturdy stems with compact bowls and delicate linking strokes, producing a lively texture that remains crisp at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titles, brand marks, and high-impact editorial layouts where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for luxury packaging and posters, but is less appropriate for small text or low-resolution settings where the hairlines and tapered joins may diminish.
The tone is elegant and high-drama, evoking fashion mastheads, luxury packaging, and classic print refinement. Its sharp terminals and extreme contrast give it a poised, theatrical presence that feels premium and editorial rather than casual or utilitarian.
The font appears designed to deliver a refined, high-impact serif voice with a fashion-forward edge—combining classical proportions with exaggerated contrast and flared finishing for a distinctive display presence.
The design shows noticeable stroke tapering and flare at terminals, giving a carved, chiselled feel—especially in diagonals and in letters like A, K, V, W, and Y. Numerals echo the same contrast and sharp finishing, with some figures (such as 4) emphasizing hairline structure that reads most confidently at display sizes.
