A sharply angled serif with pronounced, sculptural stroke modulation and a consistent rightward slant. Stems swell and taper into flared, wedge-like terminals, creating crisp, blade-shaped serifs and pointed joins. Counters are relatively tight and ovals feel slightly pinched, while diagonals and cross-strokes show abrupt thick–thin transitions that emphasize sparkle and contrast. The lowercase is compact with energetic entry/exit strokes and a lively rhythm; numerals follow the same tapered, high-contrast construction with distinctive curves and angled cuts.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, poster titles, and brand wordmarks where its high-contrast details and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads or deck copy when generous size and spacing are available, but it will feel heavy and compact in long, small-size passages.
The overall tone is confident and theatrical, balancing classic refinement with a modern, fashion/editorial edge. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast give it a sense of luxury and tension, reading as assertive and attention-seeking rather than quiet or texty.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxe, high-impact serif voice with calligraphic energy and flared terminals, optimized for striking typography in contemporary editorial and branding contexts.
Spacing appears visually dense in running text, with dark verticals and narrow apertures producing a strong typographic color. Several forms lean into calligraphic logic—curved strokes finish in thin, pointed tips—while the flared endings keep the silhouettes crisp and graphic at larger sizes.
