A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and crisp, tapering joins. Stems often widen into subtly flared, wedge-like endings rather than relying on heavy bracketed serifs, giving the forms a carved, calligraphic finish. Round letters show tight curves with thin hairlines, while verticals read firm and glossy; overall spacing feels even and controlled. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with elegant ascenders and compact, angled terminals, maintaining a lively rhythm across text and display sizes.
Best suited to magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, and premium branding where high contrast can shine. It will also work well for packaging and posters that need a refined, upscale voice; in longer text, it’s likely most effective at comfortable print sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The typeface conveys a polished, editorial sophistication with a dramatic, high-fashion sheen. Its sharp hairlines and flared endings add a sense of ceremony and refinement, while the confident contrast creates an expressive, attention-grabbing tone.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with a more modern, flared-terminal treatment, emphasizing elegance and contrast for impactful display typography while remaining coherent in running text.
Caps have a stately presence with clean, open counters, and the numerals echo the same contrast-driven modeling, pairing strong verticals with delicate hairline details. Diacritics and punctuation appear crisp and minimal, supporting a precise, contemporary finish.
