A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and sharply tapered terminals. Vertical stems read dark and confident while hairlines are extremely thin, creating a crisp, sparkling texture at display sizes. The letterforms are compact and upright with wedge-like, calligraphic joins and frequent teardrop/ball-like inflections in curves. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is punchy, producing a bold silhouette without heavy weight.
Best suited for magazine headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and prominent titling where its thin hairlines can remain crisp. It also fits luxury branding, perfume/cosmetics packaging, and high-end invitations where a dramatic, refined serif voice is desired.
The tone is elegant and editorial, with a fashion-forward drama that feels premium and intentional. Its razor-thin hairlines and sculpted serifs add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, leaning toward luxury branding and high-end publishing.
Likely designed to deliver an expressive, modern-classic serif look with pronounced contrast and flared endings, prioritizing striking headline presence and an upscale impression over neutral text versatility.
The design emphasizes contrast-driven sparkle and sharp detail; small sizes or low-resolution contexts may visually lose the finest hairlines. Numerals follow the same sculpted, high-contrast logic and look suited to headlines and titling rather than dense tabular work.
