This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sharply tapered joins and subtly flared stroke endings that give verticals a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Serifs are fine and pointed rather than blocky, and the strokes transition quickly from hairlines to strong stems for a crisp, elegant rhythm. Proportions favor a tall, energetic lowercase with compact bowls and clean, open counters; the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g with a more text-forward, contemporary flavor. Numerals match the contrast and refinement, with slender diagonals and delicate terminals that keep the overall color light despite the strong main stems.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book jackets, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp finishing can be appreciated. It can also work for short-form editorial text in larger sizes, especially in high-quality print or controlled digital environments.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, balancing classic bookish authority with a modern, fashion/editorial edge. The sharp hairlines and flared finishes add a sense of sophistication and tension, making it feel curated and premium rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-fashion serif voice with contemporary lowercase forms and refined flared terminals, offering a distinctive alternative to more traditional modern serifs while keeping a disciplined, typographic structure.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and fine details create a lively sparkle at larger sizes, while the tight hairlines and sharp terminals suggest it will reward careful size and spacing choices. The design maintains consistent stroke logic across caps, lowercase, and figures, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that reads as intentional rather than ornamental.
