This typeface pairs sharply tapered hairlines with weighty main strokes, creating a crisp, sculpted silhouette across both caps and lowercase. Serifs are fine and pointed, often resolving into flared, blade-like terminals that feel cut rather than rounded, while curves show pronounced thick–thin modulation. Capitals read tall and statuesque with generous internal space; the lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm with compact joins and decisive, angled finishing strokes. Figures are similarly high-contrast, with elegant, sweeping diagonals and minimal secondary strokes that emphasize the font’s sharpness.
Best suited to display sizes where the contrast and hairline detailing can shine—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, and premium packaging. In text, it works as a strong editorial voice for short passages, pull quotes, and titling where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired.
The overall tone is poised and high-end, with a dramatic, runway-like contrast that signals luxury and confidence. Its sharp terminals and controlled curves lend a slightly theatrical, contemporary-classic feel—polished rather than nostalgic.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern luxury serif with conspicuous contrast and sharp, flared finishing strokes, balancing classical proportions with a more graphic, cut-terminal attitude. It aims to stand out in high-impact typography while retaining enough structure to function in controlled editorial settings.
Diagonal structures (notably in letters like V, W, X, and the 7) are rendered with clean, planar cuts that heighten the sense of precision. The design favors crisp entry and exit strokes over soft bracketing, giving many glyphs a subtly chiseled, flared finish that remains consistent in text settings.
