This typeface shows dramatic thick–thin modulation with razor-fine hairlines and sharply tapered, flared stroke endings that read as wedge-like serifs. Curves are smooth and taut, with a polished, sculpted finish; verticals carry the visual weight while horizontal and connecting strokes often reduce to threadlike lines. Proportions feel classical and slightly narrow in the capitals, while the lowercase maintains a measured x-height with delicate joins and compact counters. Overall spacing appears even but intentionally airy in the thinnest areas, emphasizing a crisp, high-definition silhouette in text and display.
It performs best in display contexts such as magazine titles, fashion or beauty layouts, luxury packaging, and brand marks where high contrast and fine detail can be preserved. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes with adequate leading and careful reproduction.
The overall tone is upscale and poised, projecting a fashion-forward, editorial sensibility. The extreme contrast and fine terminals create a sense of sophistication and ceremony, with a cool, modern sharpness rather than a warm, rustic feel.
The design intent appears to be a contemporary, high-fashion serif that leverages extreme contrast and flared stroke endings to create a distinctive, premium voice. It prioritizes visual drama and refined detail for prominent typography over utilitarian neutrality.
Several letters feature distinctive flared transitions into terminals, giving the serifs a pointed, blade-like character and adding sparkle at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals appear especially suited to headline settings where the hairlines can be appreciated without breaking down.
