A crisp serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered wedge serifs. The design leans wide with generous, open counters and a steady upright stance. Terminals often end in pointed, triangular cuts, giving strokes a chiseled finish, while bowls and shoulders are smoothly drawn and slightly tensioned. Uppercase forms read stately and high-waisted, and the lowercase keeps a compact, structured rhythm with sturdy stems and clean joins.
Best suited to large sizes where the contrast and razor serifs can read cleanly—magazine headlines, luxury branding, posters, and book-cover titling. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when given ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and assertive, with a couture-like drama that feels elevated and editorial. Its sharp serifs and gleaming contrast communicate sophistication and authority, while the wide proportions add a sense of confidence and space.
This font appears designed to deliver modern, fashion-forward elegance using classical serif structure pushed toward sharper terminals and higher contrast. The wide stance and open interiors suggest an intention to stay readable at display sizes while maximizing drama and refinement.
At display sizes the hairlines and pointed serifs create a striking sparkle, and the italic-less upright construction keeps layouts looking formal and composed. Numerals and capitals appear especially bold and emblematic, supporting attention-grabbing titling.
