A high-contrast serif with delicate hairlines set against fuller verticals and a distinctly sculpted, flared finish at many stroke endings. The serifs are sharp and wedge-like rather than blocky, and the curves are smooth with a polished, calligraphic tension. Proportions feel classic and slightly narrow in the caps with generous counters, while the lowercase keeps a steady, readable rhythm and a moderate x-height. Numerals echo the same contrast and tapering, with elegant curves and fine entry/exit strokes that stay crisp at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, covers, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp detailing can shine. It also fits premium packaging, beauty/fashion communication, and formal invitations when paired with comfortable leading and restrained line lengths.
The overall tone is poised and premium, balancing classical bookishness with a contemporary fashion sensibility. Its pronounced contrast and razor-like detailing read as confident and upscale, lending a sense of ceremony and editorial authority.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-fashion take on a classical serif model, emphasizing dramatic contrast and flared, sculptural terminals for maximum sophistication in display use.
Joins and terminals frequently taper into flared or pointed endings, creating a chiseled, engraved-like sparkle in larger settings. The font’s refinement depends on preserving the thin strokes, so it visually rewards ample size, good rendering, and generous spacing.
