A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and emphatic, swelling main strokes that create a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are sharp and finely bracketed, often resolving into tapered points, while many joins and terminals show a subtle teardrop or ball-like modulation. Round letters (C, G, O, Q) are sculpted and smooth, with elegant stress and tight apertures; diagonals and arms (K, R, X) end in needle-like finishes. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with lively, curved terminals—especially visible in a, e, g, y, and the hooked f—giving the texture an animated, boutique feel. Numerals follow the same contrast and tapering, with open, stylized forms and delicate finishing strokes.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine covers, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and short editorial pull quotes. It can also work for logotypes and titles where its sharp contrast and ornamental terminals can be given enough size and whitespace to remain crisp.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, combining classic editorial sophistication with a slightly playful, ornamental edge. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted terminals read as upscale and fashion-forward, while the lively curves add personality rather than strict formality.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-end serif voice with dramatic contrast and couture-like detailing. Its distinctive terminals and sculpted stress suggest an intention to stand out in display typography while still referencing classic serif proportions and editorial tradition.
The design relies on fine details and thin connecting strokes; in the sample text, the hairlines and pointed terminals become a defining feature and may require generous sizing and careful reproduction. Capitals appear stately and display-oriented, while the lowercase adds movement through distinctive terminal shapes and pronounced stroke modulation.
