A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp hairline detailing. Serifs are thin and crisp with a lightly bracketed feel, and many joins taper into needle-like terminals that heighten the contrast. Capitals are wide and stately with elegant curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and a mix of firm vertical stems and calligraphic stress. Lowercase forms are compact and lively, with a two-storey g and double-storey a, and punctuation-like details (dots, hooks, and spurs) rendered as small, precise teardrops or wedges. Numerals follow the same display-minded contrast, with a mix of straight stems and sweeping curves that read cleanly at larger sizes.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and editorial display work where contrast and elegance are desired. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and poster typography that benefits from sharp, sculptural letterforms and a confident, refined voice.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a dramatic, couture-like presence that evokes magazine typography and luxury branding. The sharp hairlines and sculpted curves create a sense of sophistication and tension, balancing classical formality with a modern, editorial edge.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on traditional high-contrast serifs for display-led typography, emphasizing elegance, sharp detailing, and a fashion/editorial sensibility while retaining familiar, conventional serif constructions.
In text settings the rhythm is assertive, with strong vertical emphasis and bright, sharp counters that can produce a sparkling page color. The design’s fine details and tapered terminals suggest it will reward generous sizes and thoughtful spacing where its hairline structure can remain clear.
