This typeface presents as a display-forward serif with strongly tapered, flared terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes swell into wedge-like serifs and endings, creating crisp points and sculpted joins, while bowls and counters stay relatively open for a bold face. The overall drawing feels clean and controlled, with smooth curves contrasted by sharp cut-ins and angled terminals; diagonals (as in V, W, X, Y) are particularly punchy and faceted. Numerals follow the same high-drama contrast, with elegant, sweeping curves and a mix of compact and expansive shapes that adds a lively rhythm in set text.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and short-form display typography where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can elevate brand marks, campaign graphics, and packaging that aim for a premium, fashion-led voice, and it performs well in editorial settings for striking titles and pull quotes.
The tone is assertive and refined—high-fashion and editorial in spirit, with a sense of theatrical contrast and polished formality. It reads as premium and attention-grabbing rather than quiet or utilitarian, bringing a classic magazine sensibility with a modern, sharpened edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern display serif with pronounced flare and contrast, prioritizing expressive silhouettes and luxurious texture. Its tapered terminals and sculpted serifs suggest a goal of combining classical serif cues with a sharper, more contemporary editorial presence.
In the text sample, the dense weight and strong contrast create striking word shapes and a distinctive texture; the tapered terminals and flared ends become a key identifying feature at headline sizes. Some letters show intentionally idiosyncratic flare and curvature, giving the face a dynamic, slightly calligraphic energy without leaning into true italics.
