A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering terminals that often flare into pointed, wedge-like endings. The serifs are sharp and elegant rather than blocky, with a rhythmic, calligraphic stroke logic and predominantly vertical stress. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly condensed in posture, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and clean joins; the overall texture is high-contrast and lively, with strong dark strokes and hairline details. Figures follow the same refined contrast, with curving forms (notably 2, 3, 5, 9) finishing in sharp, calligraphic tips.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion or arts posters, premium brand identities, and packaging where dramatic contrast and sharp detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or deck lines when ample size and spacing preserve the fine hairlines.
The typeface conveys an upscale, editorial tone—confident, theatrical, and refined. Its sharp hairlines and flared endings create a sense of sophistication and ceremony, evoking fashion, culture, and premium branding rather than utilitarian text settings.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with a more contemporary, sculptural finish—using extreme contrast and flared, pointed terminals to create a luxurious, attention-grabbing voice for display-led applications.
Large sizes highlight the delicate hairlines and pointed terminals, which give the face its signature sparkle and bite. The rhythm is energetic and slightly expressive, with noticeable stroke tapering in diagonals and curved letters that adds a hand-influenced feel while remaining formally upright.
