A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and weight concentrated in rounded bowls and vertical strokes. Serifs are sharp and slightly flared, giving terminals a chiseled, sculptural finish rather than blunt brackets. Curves are generous and smooth, with pronounced thick–thin modulation that produces an elegant, punchy rhythm; joins and crotches stay clean and controlled, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) show taut hairlines and pointed endings. Lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with compact counters and energetic details, including a two-storey g and pointed, calligraphic terminals that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and branding where its contrast and crisp terminals can be appreciated. It works well for fashion and cultural promotion materials, book covers, and short impactful statements; for longer passages it will typically benefit from larger sizes and comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, balancing classical bookish heritage with fashion-forward glamour. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing convey confidence and polish, making it feel premium, editorial, and slightly decadent rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a modern display serif that amplifies classic proportions with flared, sharply finished terminals and dramatic contrast. Its goal is to deliver a luxurious, attention-grabbing texture that remains disciplined and readable in prominent typographic roles.
In text settings the strong contrast creates a lively sparkle and pronounced word shapes, while the flared terminals add a distinctive silhouette. Numerals and capitals share the same sculpted contrast and pointed detailing, supporting bold headlines and branding with a cohesive, high-end feel.
