This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty verticals that flare into wedge-like stroke endings. Serifs feel integrated into the stroke modulation rather than attached, creating pointed terminals and crisp joins throughout. Capitals are elegant and relatively wide, with smooth, rounded bowls (C, O, Q) contrasted by knife-thin connecting strokes and deep, narrow apertures in letters like S and a. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with compact counters and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm; curves often swell into thick strokes and then snap to fine entry/exit hairlines. Numerals follow the same sculpted contrast, with thin diagonals and pronounced thick/thin transitions that read best at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster titles where its sharp contrast and flared endings can be appreciated. It can also work for pull quotes and short subheads, especially with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical—suited to high-end, style-forward typography where contrast and sharp detailing signal sophistication. It carries a fashion/editorial sensibility with a slightly dramatic, modern edge driven by the flared endings and razor hairlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary display serif with classic high-contrast construction, using flared stroke endings to add a carved, couture-like signature. The goal seems to be strong visual impact and elegance in prominent, image-led layouts rather than neutral long-form text.
At larger sizes the fine hairlines and pointed terminals create a lively sparkle, while at smaller sizes those details may visually soften or break up in low-resolution contexts. The design’s strong vertical stress and flared finishing give words a rhythmic, almost engraved cadence, especially in mixed-case settings.
