A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered strokes and flared, wedge-like terminals that give the letterforms a sculpted, calligraphic feel. The design favors vertical stress and slim proportions, with crisp joins and pronounced stroke modulation that stays consistent from capitals through figures. Serifs are pointed and energetic rather than blocky, and many curves finish in fine, blade-like endings that heighten sparkle in display sizes. Overall spacing feels tight and rhythmic, supporting compact setting while preserving clear counters in the lowercase.
Best suited for headlines, decks, and pull quotes where its contrast and sharp terminals can remain crisp and intentional. It works especially well for magazine/editorial typography, fashion and beauty branding, and poster titles that benefit from a refined, high-impact texture. For longer passages, it will perform more comfortably with moderate sizes and ample leading to avoid crowding the fine hairlines.
The tone is elegant and dramatic, balancing classical bookish cues with a modern, fashion-forward sharpness. Its strong contrast and incisive terminals read as confident and premium, with a slightly theatrical edge that suits attention-grabbing typography. The overall impression is polished and poised rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, elegant serif voice with strong stroke contrast and distinctive flared endings, creating a luxurious display character while remaining structured and readable. Its consistent modulation across letters and numerals suggests an emphasis on cohesive, editorial-forward typography that stands out without relying on ornament.
Capitals appear stately and emphatic, while the lowercase maintains a lively texture with distinct, pointed entry/exit strokes. Numerals match the same contrast and tapering behavior, keeping a cohesive voice across mixed alphanumeric settings. The sample text shows strong headline presence and a pronounced light/dark pattern that benefits from generous line spacing.
