A high-contrast serif with pronounced modulation between thick stems and hairline strokes, where many terminals widen into subtly flared endings. The letterforms feature sharp, triangular wedge-like serifs and crisp joins that create a faceted, sculpted feel, especially on diagonals and curves. Counters are generally open and clean, with an upright stance and a balanced, text-friendly x-height. Numerals and capitals show strong vertical emphasis and elegant hairline cross-strokes, producing a rhythmic pattern of thick–thin stripes across words.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for upscale branding and magazine-style layouts, particularly when set with generous leading and careful tracking.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its razor-thin details and flared finishing give it a luxurious, slightly theatrical presence that reads as premium and intentional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-fashion serif voice with modern crispness, using flared stroke endings and strong contrast to add sophistication and visual tension in display settings.
At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp serifs become a defining feature, giving headings a crisp, engraved look. In dense settings the intense contrast can create a lively shimmer, so spacing and size choices will strongly influence the perceived smoothness of text color.
