A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and weighty verticals, showing crisp, sculpted stroke modulation throughout. Terminals frequently flare and taper into pointed, wedge-like endings rather than blunt slabs, giving many strokes a subtly calligraphic finish. The capitals feel tall and composed with elegant curves and sharp apexes, while the lowercase maintains a conventional, readable construction with a compact, refined rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with thin joins and pronounced thick strokes that create a bright, glossy texture in setting.
Best suited to display uses such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant branding where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for premium packaging and titles, especially when set with generous spacing and ample size to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, with a sense of luxury and drama driven by the sharp hairlines and flared terminals. It reads as confident and sophisticated, evoking fashion, culture, and premium publishing rather than utilitarian text typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-fashion serif voice: traditional letterforms refined with dramatic contrast and flared, tapered endings to create a striking, upscale presence in display typography.
In the text sample, the strong thick–thin pattern produces a lively vertical cadence, while the delicate hairlines add sparkle in larger sizes. Curved letters and diagonals show careful tapering, and the pointed finishing strokes lend a distinctive, slightly incisive personality.
