A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and weighty, sculpted main strokes that flare into tapered, chisel-like terminals. Serifs are sharp and controlled rather than bracketed, giving the outlines a cut, calligraphic finish while staying clearly upright. Counters are generous and the overall rhythm alternates between bold vertical emphasis and razor-thin joins, producing a striking light/dark pattern in text. Uppercase forms feel stately and formal, while the lowercase shows compact, sturdy bodies with crisp entry/exit strokes and distinctive, pointed terminals.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and other large-scale typography where the high contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It works well for magazine and cultural editorial design, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and posters that benefit from a dramatic, refined voice.
The tone is sophisticated and theatrical, mixing classic editorial refinement with a slightly severe, modern edge. Its strong contrast and razor details read as premium and intentional, suggesting fashion, culture, and luxury contexts rather than utilitarian typography.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-fashion serif voice with emphatic vertical structure and expressive, tapered finishing strokes. Its flared terminals and strong contrast aim to create memorable letterforms and a distinctive editorial texture in display use.
At display sizes the hairlines and sharp terminals become a key part of the personality, creating a polished, engraved look. In dense settings, the contrast can create a lively sparkle and pronounced texture, especially where thin links meet heavy stems.
