This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty verticals that broaden into subtly flared stroke endings rather than flat slabs. Serifs read as pointed, wedge-like terminals with a calligraphic bite, and curves show clear thick–thin modulation. Proportions are formal and slightly narrow in the capitals, with small counters in letters like B, P, and R, while round letters (O, C, G) feel taut and tightly drawn. Lowercase forms are compact and rhythmic, with a two-storey g, a beaked/curled ear on the g and a crisp, angled beak on r; the i and j carry round dots. Numerals maintain the same contrast and sharp terminals, with a notably delicate 4 and a curvy, high-contrast 2 and 3.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and editorial typography where high contrast and sharp terminals can be showcased. It can also support luxury branding and packaging, particularly for beauty, fashion, and cultural institutions, where a refined, high-impact serif is desired.
The overall tone is polished and fashion-forward, combining classical editorial authority with a sense of sharpness and drama. The flared endings and pointed serifs add a slightly theatrical, luxe character that feels at home in premium, image-led settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical high-contrast serif construction, emphasizing crisp wedge terminals and flared stroke endings for a distinctive, premium voice. It prioritizes display clarity and elegance, creating strong silhouettes and a lively thick–thin rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
In text, the strong vertical emphasis and thin connecting strokes create a bright, sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes. The design rewards generous spacing and works best when the delicate hairlines can remain crisp against the background.
