A high-contrast serif with pronounced modulation and flared stroke endings that taper into sharp, triangular terminals. The letterforms feel wide and stately, with generous bowls and open counters, while hairlines become extremely thin at joins and terminals. Serifs are subtly integrated into the stroke, reading more like expanding wedges than bracketed slabs, and diagonals (V, W, Y, k, x) show crisp, knife-like finishing. Round forms (O, C, e, o) are smooth and controlled, with a slightly calligraphic stress and clean, polished edges across the set.
Best suited to display work such as magazine headlines, fashion and luxury branding, poster typography, and elegant packaging. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes where size and spacing allow the fine hairlines and flared terminals to remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, projecting a premium, editorial presence with a touch of couture elegance. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted flares create a sense of drama and sophistication that feels confident and attention-getting rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with a modern, high-fashion sharpness, using extreme stroke contrast and flared endings to create a distinctive, upscale display voice. The consistent wedge terminals and controlled curves suggest a focus on stylish impact and refined detail in large-scale typography.
In text, the extreme contrast produces a lively rhythm and strong figure/ground separation, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines and wedge terminals read clearly. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with crisp diagonal cuts and contrasting strokes that keep the set visually consistent with the capitals.
