A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a tall, narrow stance. The strokes taper into wedge-like, flared terminals that read as sharp and clean rather than bracketed, giving the letterforms a chiseled, calligraphic sheen. Capitals feel statuesque with strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase keeps a compact, controlled rhythm with a clear, moderate x-height and tight apertures. Numerals and punctuation match the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and crisp terminals that stay consistent across the set.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent editorial settings where contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It works well for fashion and lifestyle magazines, luxury branding, boutique packaging, and poster titling, particularly when paired with generous spacing and clean supporting typography.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, balancing classic bookish cues with a modern, fashion-forward edge. Its dramatic contrast and razor terminals create a sense of tension and sophistication, suited to designs that want to feel premium, assertive, and carefully art-directed.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on refined serif letterforms: narrow, elegant shapes with dramatic modulation and flared stroke endings that elevate titles and brand marks. It prioritizes visual impact and sophistication while retaining enough structure for short-to-medium editorial text at comfortable sizes.
In text, the narrow proportions and high contrast produce a strong vertical cadence and noticeable sparkle, especially at larger sizes. The flared endings help keep strokes visually anchored despite the thin hairlines, and the family’s rhythm leans more display-oriented than utilitarian for long passages.
