A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and pronounced, wedge-like terminals that flare into sharp points. Strokes show a subtly calligraphic modulation, producing crisp entry/exit cuts and a slightly sculpted feel rather than purely geometric construction. Proportions are compact with tight counters in many capitals, while round letters keep an elegant, near-oval silhouette. Numerals and lowercase share the same steep contrast and pointed finishing, giving the set a consistent, incisive rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, pull quotes, and display settings where its contrast and sharp serifs can stay crisp. It can also support luxury-leaning branding, packaging, and event materials when paired with ample whitespace and restrained layouts.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, balancing classical refinement with a slightly theatrical edge. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast read as fashionable and premium, suited to designs that want sophistication with bite.
Likely designed to deliver an elegant, high-fashion serif voice with conspicuous contrast and distinctive pointed serifs, creating strong character at display sizes while retaining a readable, conventional skeleton for text-driven compositions.
Capitals present strong vertical emphasis and distinctive pointed joins, while the lowercase maintains clear, traditional forms with crisp serifed endings. In running text the alternating thick/thin pattern is prominent, so spacing and line breaks benefit from generous leading and careful tracking, especially at smaller sizes.
