A sculpted serif with very strong thick–thin modulation and a distinctly flared handling of stroke endings. Serifs are sharp and pointed rather than blocky, with crisp joins and occasional wedge-like finishing that creates a carved, high-fashion silhouette. Counters tend to be compact with teardrop-like apertures in places, and curves show a calligraphic tension where thick strokes swell smoothly into thin hairlines. Proportions feel display-oriented, with slightly variable glyph widths and a rhythmic alternation of heavy verticals and delicate connecting strokes.
Best suited for display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle branding, posters, and premium packaging where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or hero text on the web or in print, especially when ample size and clean reproduction preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, leaning toward luxury and editorial sophistication. Its crisp hairlines and knife-like serifs give it an assertive, theatrical presence, while the flared terminals add a refined, crafted character that reads as premium and intentional.
This design appears intended to combine classical serif structure with a modern, high-impact contrast and flared finishing, prioritizing elegance and visual authority. The letterforms seem tuned to create a distinctive, memorable texture for titles and brand-facing typography rather than extended reading.
In the sample text, the font delivers a strong dark color with sparkling highlights from the hairlines, creating a lively texture at larger sizes. The numerals show the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and sharp finishing that match the uppercase. The lowercase has a slightly softer, more textlike rhythm than the caps, but remains firmly in display territory due to the pronounced contrast and narrow hairline connections.
