A high-contrast serif with tall, narrow proportions and a crisp, vertical rhythm. Strokes move from hairline connections and serifs to thick, confident verticals, with stems that subtly flare into pointed, blade-like terminals rather than blunt brackets. Serifs are fine and sharp, giving capitals a chiseled, calligraphic finish, while curves show pronounced thick–thin modulation and clean joins. Numerals and punctuation follow the same razor-edged contrast, creating a consistent, polished texture across display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and logo or wordmark work where the contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It performs especially well in editorial and fashion contexts, premium packaging, and large-format posters; for smaller sizes, generous size and spacing help preserve the hairline detail.
The tone is luxurious and theatrical, with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its pronounced contrast and knife-like endings feel premium and contemporary, while the classical serif structure keeps it poised and formal.
The design appears intended to deliver an upscale display serif with dramatic contrast and flared, tapered finishing, balancing classical proportions with a modern, incisive edge.
In running text the spacing reads airy and bright due to the thin hairlines, and the narrow set reinforces a vertical, column-like color. Several forms (notably in diagonals and bowls) emphasize pointed apexes and tapered finishes, contributing to a distinctive, slightly calligraphic sparkle.
