A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapering hairlines and broader main strokes that flare subtly into wedge-like terminals. Serifs read as sharply cut and angular rather than bracketed, giving the face a chiseled, sculptural rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and terminals often resolve into pointed, triangular details that add sparkle at display sizes. Proportions feel generous and slightly extended, with a steady, upright stance and a clean, consistent modulation across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book titling, fashion and beauty communications, posters, and brand marks that benefit from high-contrast elegance. It performs well where sharp detail and refined stroke modulation can be appreciated—large text, pull quotes, and high-impact display typography—rather than long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic, with a couture/editorial polish. Its sharp terminals and bright contrast convey sophistication and a sense of ceremony, leaning classic yet noticeably stylized. The texture on the page feels lively and premium, suggesting refinement rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic high-contrast serif conventions with more angular, flared finishing, creating a contemporary display voice. Its controlled proportions and consistent stroke modulation suggest a focus on sophisticated typography for premium, attention-forward applications.
The numerals echo the same contrast and sharp finishing, with distinctive, slender forms and pronounced terminals that feel designed for visual impact. Diagonals and vertex-heavy letters (like A, V, W, X, Y) emphasize the font’s angular cuts, while round letters maintain a taut, glossy silhouette. In paragraph-like settings the contrast creates a pronounced sparkle, favoring larger sizes over small, dense text.
