A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and swelling verticals that flare into wedge-like terminals. Serifs are pointed and knife-edged rather than bracketed, giving the outlines a carved, sculptural feel. Uppercase forms are stately and compact, while the lowercase shows a traditional, text-oriented structure with a two-storey a and g, a narrow, pointed t, and a slender, slightly looping y descender. Numerals follow the same contrast and flared finishing, producing strong sparkle and a lively, irregular rhythm in mixed text.
Best suited to display sizes where its fine hairlines and sharp terminals can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle editorial, luxury packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short pull quotes and titling, but the intense contrast suggests using generous size and spacing for comfortable reading.
The font reads as polished and high-end, with a dramatic fashion/editorial tone. Its sharp terminals and pronounced stroke contrast convey confidence and sophistication, while the flared endings add a subtly calligraphic, artisanal edge.
Designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, emphasizing dramatic thick–thin modulation and flared, wedge-like finishing for an elegant yet distinctive voice in editorial and branding contexts.
In setting, the hairlines become very fine and the joins stay crisp, creating prominent light–dark patterning and “sparkle.” Curved letters like C, S, and O show tight, tense curves with thin entry/exit strokes, and the overall texture feels energetic rather than soft.
