A high-contrast serif with hairline connecting strokes and sharply tapered, flared terminals that give the outlines a carved, chiseled feel. The rhythm is vertical and disciplined, with narrow proportions, tight interior counters, and clear thick–thin modulation that becomes especially pronounced in rounds and diagonals. Serifs and endings are not blunt; instead they thin out into points or subtle wedges, creating a delicate, elegant edge. Uppercase forms feel stately and display-oriented, while the lowercase maintains a compact, editorial texture with fine entry/exit strokes and crisp joins.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster titling where its contrast and fine terminals can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial passages and pull quotes when set large with comfortable spacing, but it is most compelling as a statement face.
The overall tone is sophisticated and dramatic, leaning toward contemporary luxury and high-fashion editorial styling. Its razor-thin details and sculpted terminals convey precision and exclusivity, with a slightly theatrical contrast that reads as premium and curated rather than casual.
Designed to deliver a modern, high-end serif voice through extreme thick–thin contrast and flared, tapered endings. The intent appears focused on visual elegance and impact, offering a distinctive editorial texture with a polished, couture-like finish.
The numerals and capitals emphasize verticality and thin horizontals, producing a refined sparkle at larger sizes. In running text, the hairlines and pointed terminals create a lively, shimmering surface that benefits from generous sizes and careful reproduction.
