A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs and pronounced stroke modulation. Curves are drawn with a slightly calligraphic, sculpted feel, producing pointed beaks and teardrop-like joins in places, while verticals stay crisp and authoritative. The design mixes classical proportions with decorative, flared terminals, giving letters an elegant but intentionally stylized silhouette; counters are generally open, and the overall rhythm alternates between very thin hairlines and weighty stems for a bold black-on-white presence.
This font is best used for display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion or beauty branding, posters, and premium packaging where its sharp details and contrast can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial pull quotes or titling, but its decorative modulation is most effective at larger sizes.
The tone is refined and theatrical—suited to polished, high-end communication with a touch of vintage flair. Its sharp, carved details and strong contrast read as confident and stylish, suggesting prestige, ceremony, and editorial sophistication.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif through a more ornamental, cut-and-carved lens, emphasizing sharp serifs, flared terminals, and stylized curves for maximum personality in display typography.
In text, the extreme contrast and distinctive terminals create a lively texture and noticeable sparkle, especially around rounded forms and diagonals. The numerals follow the same dramatic modulation and feel display-oriented, with sculptural curves and crisp entry/exit strokes.
