A high-contrast serif with flared stroke endings and sharply tapered terminals. Vertical stems read heavy and steady while hairlines are extremely thin, creating a pronounced thick–thin rhythm across the alphabet. Serifs are pointed and often triangular, with subtle bracketing and sculpted joins that give counters a teardrop-like tension in letters such as a, e, and g. The lowercase shows compact, crisp forms with a two-storey a and g, narrow apertures, and a tall, straight t with a fine cross stroke; figures are similarly contrasty, with an elegant, curving 2 and 3 and a bold, symmetrical 8.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and large-scale editorial typography where its contrast and flared endings can create impact. It can also work well for premium branding, beauty/fashion applications, and packaging or invitations that call for an elegant, high-drama voice. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with ample leading to preserve clarity.
The font conveys a luxe, fashion-forward tone with a distinctly dramatic, print-oriented presence. Its razor hairlines and flared details add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, while the bold verticals keep it assertive and attention-grabbing. Overall it feels classical and refined, with a theatrical edge suited to display settings.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classic high-contrast serif forms, using flared strokes and pointed serifs to heighten sparkle and silhouette. Its strong verticals and sculpted curves suggest an emphasis on striking display performance and refined branding presence.
Spacing and rhythm feel intentionally tight and punchy in text, with strong vertical emphasis and lively curve tension in rounded letters. The design relies on delicate hairlines for sparkle, so it benefits from generous size and clean reproduction where fine details remain intact.
