A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strongly tapered, wedge-like serifs that flare from the stems. The verticals read dominant and polished, while curved strokes show pronounced swelling and sharp, sheared terminals that create a lively, chiseled edge. Counters are relatively open and the lowercase is compact yet clear, with a single-storey g and a softly notched, ball-terminal feel on forms like j and y. Numerals follow the same display-oriented contrast, mixing stout main strokes with delicate connecting hairlines for an elegant, print-like rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, magazine layouts, and prominent typographic moments where its contrast and crisp terminals can be appreciated. It can also serve refined branding, packaging, and poster work, particularly when paired with a calmer companion for extended reading.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, projecting sophistication and restraint with a hint of dramatic sparkle from the extreme contrast. It feels traditional in structure but styled for modern high-end contexts, giving text a cultured, magazine-ready voice.
The letterforms suggest an intention to blend classical serif proportions with a contemporary, fashion-forward sharpness. The pronounced contrast and flared serif treatment appear designed to deliver elegant impact and a distinctive editorial texture at display sizes.
The design’s flared, triangular serifs and sharp terminals create strong directional highlights that become especially noticeable at larger sizes. In running text, the contrast produces a shimmering texture and emphasizes vertical rhythm, while capitals maintain a stately presence without becoming overly wide.
