A refined display serif with extremely crisp hairlines set against dominant verticals and smoothly modulated curves. The serifs read as sharp, tapered wedges, with stems subtly swelling into the terminals and along stressed curves, giving a carved, flared impression rather than blunt endings. Letterforms are compact and vertical, with tight internal spacing and pointed joins; curves (notably in C, G, S, and numerals) show elegant thinning at the extremes. Lowercase maintains a classic, bookish construction with modest x-height, small apertures, and delicate finishing strokes, while capitals feel stately and finely calibrated for headline use.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp finishing can be appreciated. It also works well for luxury packaging and beauty or fashion-led identities, and for short editorial subheads when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, combining classical poise with a distinctly dramatic contrast that feels modern and editorial. It suggests sophistication and intention—more couture and magazine than utilitarian text—while remaining composed rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical high-contrast serif: compact, elegant proportions paired with crisp hairlines and flared, tapered terminals that project premium character in display settings.
In text, the sharp transitions and hairline details create a sparkling rhythm that benefits from generous sizing and careful spacing. The narrow proportions and tight counters heighten the vertical emphasis, and the numerals echo the same sculpted stress and tapered terminals for a cohesive typographic color.
