A striking serif with pronounced stroke modulation and sharply tapered hairlines that expand into flared, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms show a calligraphic undercurrent: swelling verticals, concave transitions, and crisp, knife-edged entry/exit strokes that create a lively, sculpted rhythm. Serifs are bracketless-to-minimally bracketed in feel, often resolving as pointed or flared wedges rather than flat slabs, giving counters a slightly pinched, elegant tension. The lowercase is relatively compact and sturdy with prominent, teardrop-like terminals and a distinctly shaped ‘a’ and ‘g’, while the numerals echo the same dramatic contrast and tapered finishing strokes.
Well-suited for large-size applications such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster titling where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short, high-impact subheads or pull quotes when set with generous leading and careful spacing.
The overall tone is upscale and theatrical—confident, refined, and attention-grabbing. Its sharp highlights and flared endings suggest couture editorial typography and classic display engraving, delivering a sense of luxury and authority without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-leaning display serif that mixes classic high-contrast proportions with flared, sculptural stroke endings for maximum presence in headlines and brand marks.
In text settings the strong contrast produces a bold, patterned texture with noticeable sparkle on diagonals and curves. The design reads best when given room to breathe, as tight spacing can amplify the dense vertical rhythm and make fine hairlines more visually delicate.
