A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty, rounded main strokes. Serifs are finely bracketed and often sharpen into tapered, beak-like terminals, giving the forms a cut, sculptural finish. Counters are generous and curves are smooth and polished, while verticals dominate the structure for a steady, upright rhythm. The lowercase shows traditional, text-oriented shapes with a two-storey a and g, and the overall impression is refined rather than utilitarian.
Best suited to headlines and short-form setting where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated—magazine titles, fashion/editorial layouts, branding wordmarks, posters, and book covers. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers where a refined, high-impact serif voice is desired.
The face reads as elegant and theatrical, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its sharp transitions and glossy contrast evoke fashion and luxury cues, while maintaining a classical book-seriffed sensibility. The tone is confident and formal, geared toward making text feel curated and premium.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a conventional serif model: familiar structures paired with heightened contrast and sharpened terminal detailing to increase drama and sophistication in display typography.
In the sample text, the strong contrast produces a striking texture at display sizes, with hairlines that create bright, sparkling detail in tight joins and terminals. The numerals echo the same cut terminals and contrast, and the capitals feel stately with compact, confident proportions.
