A high-contrast serif with sharp, hairline terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems and diagonals feel sculpted, with subtle flaring as strokes resolve into pointed wedge-like endings rather than blunt serifs. Round letters show tight, elegant bowls and refined joins; curves transition quickly into thin exits, creating a glittery rhythm in text. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, relatively long ascenders, and confident capitals that read as formal and display-oriented.
Best suited for headlines, deck text, pull quotes, and other display settings where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can work for editorial branding systems, luxury labels, and packaging that benefits from a refined, high-fashion voice. For longer passages, it will perform most comfortably at generous sizes and with sufficient line spacing to preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is polished and couture-leaning, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its sharp contrast and precise, blade-like terminals suggest luxury branding, high-end packaging, and magazine typography. The style feels classic but theatrical, bringing a sense of drama without becoming ornamental.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with fashion/editorial energy, combining classical proportions with flared, knife-like terminals for a distinctive silhouette. The intent reads as emphasis on elegance, drama, and premium presence in large-scale typography.
In the sample text, the strong contrast creates a vivid vertical cadence, especially in repeated stems, while the thin horizontals and hairlines demand adequate size and clean reproduction. Numerals and uppercase forms appear designed to carry presence in headings, with a crisp, refined silhouette that emphasizes sharpness over softness.
