A sharply contrasted serif with slim hairlines and assertive, sculpted thick strokes that often swell into flared terminals. The letterforms are condensed overall, with tight internal spacing and an energetic rhythm created by abrupt transitions between thick and thin. Serifs and stroke endings feel blade-like and tapering rather than bracketed, producing crisp entry/exit points on many joins. Curves (C, G, O, S) show smooth, controlled modulation, while vertical stems dominate the texture and give lines of text a strong, striped cadence.
Best suited to headlines, magazine mastheads, pull quotes, and other large-size typography where the hairlines and flared details can stay crisp. It can also support premium branding and packaging that benefit from a narrow, high-contrast serif voice, especially when paired with generous spacing and high-quality reproduction.
The overall tone is polished and high-fashion, with a dramatic, display-driven sparkle from the hairlines and pointed finishing details. It reads as confident and upscale—more runway/editorial than bookish—balancing classical serif cues with a contemporary, stylized sharpness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum elegance and impact in display settings by combining condensed proportions with extreme contrast and tapering, flared endings. The consistent vertical emphasis and sharp terminals suggest a focus on creating a distinctive, luxurious texture for modern editorial and brand-centric typography.
Uppercase forms are especially striking, with narrow proportions and prominent vertical stress. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing robust main strokes with delicate hairline turns; the set feels designed to hold its own in headings and titling.
