A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and swelling verticals that flare into sharp, triangular terminals. The letterforms show pronounced calligraphic stress, with crisp wedge-like serifs and tapered joins that create a sculpted, chiseled look. Curves are tight and glossy, counters are relatively compact, and several characters show slightly expanded gestures (notably in bowls and diagonals), giving the set an elegant but lively rhythm. Numerals and capitals feel statuesque, while the lowercase introduces more modulation and distinctive terminals that keep text from looking mechanical.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also fits premium packaging and beauty/fashion collateral, and can work for short editorial passages when set with generous size, leading, and careful tracking.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, leaning toward couture/editorial sophistication. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing details suggest luxury and exclusivity, with a theatrical edge that reads as modern-classic rather than purely historical.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary display serif with couture-level contrast and sculpted, flared finishing, balancing classic proportions with sharper, more graphic terminal treatment for strong visual presence.
At larger sizes the fine hairlines and pinpoint joins become a defining feature, producing a sparkling texture and pronounced light–dark rhythm. In denser settings the delicate connectors and tight apertures can make the texture feel busy, so spacing and size will strongly influence readability and impact.
