A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. The forms are relatively narrow with a vertical, steady stance, and many terminals resolve into small wedges or flared, tapering ends rather than blunt cuts. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, giving strokes a carved, chiseled feel, while curves (C, G, O, S) show smooth, controlled contrast with thin connecting hairlines. Lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with compact, neatly tapered ascenders and descenders; details like the single-storey g and the energetic, hooked j add a slightly calligraphic rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, magazine settings, and other editorial typography where contrast and sophistication are an advantage. It also fits fashion and beauty branding, event materials, and high-impact posters, especially when used at larger sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is upscale and poised, with a dramatic contrast that reads as fashion-forward and editorial. Its sharp serifs and tapered terminals convey precision and formality, while the lively curve handling keeps it from feeling purely austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, high-contrast serif voice with tapered, flared finishing strokes that add sparkle and refinement. Its proportions and detailing prioritize a distinctive, display-ready texture while remaining orderly enough for short blocks of text.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and narrow set create a tight, high-impact texture; the thinnest strokes and hairline serifs become more delicate at smaller sizes or on lower-resolution outputs. Numerals and capitals feel particularly display-oriented, with bold verticals and fine, elegant hairlines that emphasize a premium, high-style character.
