A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke terminals and sharp, triangular entry/exit points that create a faceted, cut-paper look. Vertical strokes feel weighty and steady while curves pinch tightly where thick meets thin, producing crisp joins and pronounced internal notches. Serifs are wedge-like and often integrated into the stroke as flares rather than discrete blocks, giving capitals a stately, engraved rhythm and lowercase a lively, slightly calligraphic motion. Counters are compact and the overall color is dense, with distinctive silhouettes in letters like S, G, Q, and the diagonals of V/W/X.
Best suited to large-scale display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or title treatments where its high-contrast details and sculptural terminals can be appreciated without crowding.
The font projects a glamorous, high-drama tone—confident, stylized, and slightly theatrical. Its sharp contrasts and flared details evoke couture/editorial typography and classic display lettering, balancing refinement with a bold, attention-grabbing edge.
Likely designed as a statement display serif that fuses classical high-contrast construction with flared, chiseled terminals for a contemporary editorial voice. The goal appears to be memorable silhouettes and strong typographic texture rather than neutral, long-form readability.
The sample text shows strong word-shape presence at large sizes, with striking sparkle from the thin hairlines and angular cuts. Spacing appears designed for display impact, where the heavy verticals and flared terminals create a rhythmic, ornamental texture across lines.
