A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and weighty, tapered main strokes that subtly flare at terminals. The outlines feel sculpted and precise, with sharp, wedge-like serifs and smooth transitions between thick and thin. Capitals are broad and stately, with generous internal space in rounds, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and a lively, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Overall spacing reads open and airy, supporting large sizes where the delicate hairlines remain visible.
It performs best in display roles such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine and book covers, cultural posters, and premium branding. The open counters and crisp contrast can also suit short passages at larger sizes where the fine details are not lost.
The font conveys a polished, editorial sophistication with a touch of theatrical drama. Its sharp contrast and flared finishing give it a couture, gallery-like tone—confident, poised, and intentionally stylish rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with modern, fashion-forward contrast and flared detailing, delivering an elegant display voice that feels both traditional in construction and contemporary in finish.
Curves and joins are clean and controlled, emphasizing an engraved, high-fashion sensibility. The numerals and punctuation match the same contrast and tapering logic, helping display typography feel consistent across mixed text.
