This serif displays sharply contrasted strokes with a pronounced vertical stress and extremely fine hairlines that taper into crisp, pointed serifs. Curves are generously modeled and often show teardrop-like terminals, while joins stay clean and unbracketed, producing a glossy, cut-paper look. The uppercase has stately proportions and strong rhythm, and the lowercase mixes compact bowls with lively calligraphic details (notably in letters like a, g, y, and t). Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with narrow joins and prominent thick–thin transitions that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and short editorial passages where its contrast and detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for premium branding applications such as beauty, fashion, hospitality, and packaging, where a sophisticated, high-impact serif is desired.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical—an assertive display serif that signals sophistication and polish. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted forms evoke fashion and magazine typography, with a classic, high-end editorial presence.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display serif that combines classic letterform structure with heightened contrast and precise, modern finishing. Its sculpted terminals and crisp hairlines prioritize elegance and visual drama for titles and brand-led typography.
At large sizes the hairlines and tapered serifs create striking sparkle and texture; in dense settings the thin strokes may visually recede compared to the heavy stems. The design’s distinctive terminals and strong thick–thin modulation give it a memorable voice, especially in capitals and headline punctuation.
