A high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and sharply tapered joins, paired with fuller vertical strokes that subtly flare as they meet the terminals. Serifs are fine and pointed with a calligraphic, wedge-like feel rather than blunt slabs, giving the letterforms a sleek, chiseled finish. Proportions read as generous and open, with a steady upright stance, smooth curves, and neatly controlled counters; the lowercase maintains a conventional x-height and a slightly bookish rhythm. Figures and capitals share the same dramatic thick–thin modulation, producing a polished, display-forward texture.
Best suited to large-size typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, posters, and premium branding where its contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages like deck lines or captions when set with comfortable tracking and adequate size.
The tone is luxurious and composed, leaning toward couture and high-end publishing rather than casual or utilitarian use. Its crisp contrast and delicate details convey sophistication, formality, and a slightly dramatic editorial flair.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classical serif construction, emphasizing contrast, sharp finishing, and a luminous page presence. Its flared endings and precise hairlines suggest an intention to feel both traditional and contemporary, optimized for elegant display typography.
The design relies on fine hairlines and sharp terminals, so texture becomes more striking as size increases. The combination of flared stroke endings and needle-like serifs gives a distinctive, sculpted sparkle in headlines and pull quotes.
