A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and weight concentrated in rounded bowls and select verticals. The serifs are sharp and often flare into pointed, calligraphic terminals, creating a sculpted, almost engraved edge rather than blunt finishing strokes. Curves are expansive and open, with generous counters and a slightly playful, uneven rhythm that comes from tapered strokes and occasional swash-like hooks on letters such as J, S, and g. Lowercase forms lean toward single-storey constructions (notably a and g), while the uppercase shows wide, elegant proportions with crisp, fine detailing.
Best suited to display settings where its fine hairlines and flared terminals can be appreciated: headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, branding marks, and premium packaging. It can work for short text passages at larger sizes, but the delicate stroke connections suggest caution for small sizes or low-resolution reproduction.
The overall tone is polished and couture-leaning, with a dramatic, fashion-editorial presence. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast read as sophisticated and a bit theatrical, suggesting luxury packaging, magazine titling, and high-end branding rather than neutral, workhorse text.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif vocabulary with extreme contrast and sharpened, calligraphic finishing, aiming for a distinctive, upscale voice. It prioritizes expressive silhouettes and refined detailing to create memorable, high-impact typography.
In the sample text, the thin connecting strokes and pointed terminals become visually delicate as size decreases, while large sizes emphasize the distinctive flared serifs and sweeping curves. Numerals appear similarly stylized, with curving forms and fine entry/exit strokes that prioritize elegance over strict utilitarian clarity.
