A sculpted serif with sharply tapered hairlines, swollen curves, and flared stroke endings that create a chiseled, ink-trap-free silhouette. The joins and terminals feel calligraphically informed, with wedge-like serifs and pointed beaks in places that heighten the rhythm. Uppercase forms are stately and compact with strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase shows round, weighty bowls and crisp, angled entries that keep counters open at display sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing broad main strokes with fine connecting hairlines for a refined, theatrical texture.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine covers, and brand identities that need an elegant, attention-grabbing serif. It can work for short subheads and pull quotes where contrast and detail can be appreciated, and it’s especially effective for luxury, culture, and arts-oriented layouts.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, combining classic bookish authority with a modern, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp hairlines and flared endings give it a luxurious, high-impact presence that feels curated and premium rather than rustic or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-fashion serif voice by amplifying contrast and shaping terminals into flared, wedge-like finishes. It prioritizes visual drama and refined typography texture over neutral, text-first simplicity.
The font reads best where there is enough size to preserve the thin hairlines and small interior details. The contrast and flaring produce a lively, sparkling texture in headline settings, with particularly striking diagonals and curved letters that emphasize the design’s sculptural quality.
