A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and bold, tapering main strokes that broaden into subtly flared terminals. Serifs are sharp and delicate rather than bracketed, giving the forms a crisp, sculpted finish. Proportions are classical with a moderate x-height, and the rhythm alternates between thick vertical emphasis and razor-thin connecting strokes. Curves are smooth and controlled; counters tend to be generous, while joins and apexes stay pointed and clean for a polished, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of prominent copy where its contrast and flared endings can be appreciated. It works especially well for magazine design, luxury branding, beauty/fashion campaigns, premium packaging, and statement posters. For dense body text at small sizes, the fine hairlines suggest using generous sizes and careful reproduction.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, with a distinctly luxurious, fashion-oriented presence. Its extreme contrast and refined detailing create a dramatic, high-end feel suited to sophisticated, curated settings rather than utilitarian text.
Designed to deliver a modern, editorial take on classical serif proportions, emphasizing contrast and flare for an upscale, attention-grabbing voice. The intent appears focused on display typography that signals refinement and prestige while maintaining clear, conventional letterforms.
In the sample text, the thin strokes and small details become visually prominent, producing sparkle and a strong black–white pattern at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with narrow hairlines and emphatic thick strokes that read as stylish and formal.
