A display-oriented serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and needle-fine hairlines that resolve into sharp, tapered serifs. Strokes often show a subtly calligraphic, drawn quality: heavy verticals contrast against threadlike entry/exit strokes, and many forms feature hooked or teardrop-like terminals. Proportions are moderately narrow with crisp counters and a pronounced vertical rhythm; several capitals and numerals incorporate long, delicate finishing strokes that create an elegant, slightly idiosyncratic silhouette. Spacing appears open enough for titling, while the most fragile hairlines and ornamental terminals demand generous size and careful reproduction.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and short editorial lines where its contrast and terminal detailing can read clearly. It can also support luxury branding and packaging when paired with restrained layout and ample whitespace; for longer passages, larger sizes and comfortable leading will help maintain clarity.
The font projects a couture, high-fashion tone—polished and upscale, with a dramatic edge. Its sharp contrasts and stylized terminals suggest sophistication and glamour, while the slightly unconventional detailing adds a curated, boutique feel rather than a purely classical book face.
The design intention appears to blend classic high-contrast serif structure with decorative, calligraphic-inflected finishing strokes, prioritizing elegance and visual drama over neutral readability. It’s built to stand out in display settings, offering a refined but unmistakably stylized voice.
In text settings, the strongest visual signature comes from the contrast and the animated terminals, which can create sparkling texture but may also produce uneven color at smaller sizes or on low-resolution output. The numerals and select caps show especially distinctive finishing strokes, reinforcing a headline-first personality.
