A sculpted serif with sharp, triangular wedge terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems swell into flared endings and transition through bracketed joins, creating crisp, chiseled contours rather than flat slab serifs. The uppercase shows a mix of broad verticals and hairline cross-strokes, while the lowercase balances compact bowls with energetic diagonals; details like the angled apexes and tapered arms keep the rhythm lively. Figures are display-minded, with strong vertical stress, deep notches, and distinctive curves that maintain clarity at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and large-format typography where its contrast and wedge details can be appreciated. It works well for magazine and fashion contexts, premium brand identities, posters, and packaging where a refined but assertive serif voice is needed.
The overall tone is high-end and theatrical: poised, elegant, and slightly commanding. Its sharp wedges and dramatic contrast evoke fashion publishing and luxury branding, while the flared shaping adds a handcrafted, calligraphic edge rather than a purely mechanical feel.
The design appears intended as a display serif that combines classical proportion cues with flared, wedge-like finishing to heighten drama and sophistication. It prioritizes distinctive texture and sharp detailing for strong presence in titles and brand-facing applications.
Counters are generally tight and the hairlines get very fine, making the texture more sparkling than even. The design’s personality comes through in its pointed terminals, the crisp cut-ins on curves, and the strong vertical emphasis that gives words a formal, editorial cadence.
