A high-contrast serif with crisp, hairline details and bold main strokes, built around sharply tapered joins and subtly flared stroke endings. The letterforms show a polished, editorial rhythm: wide, open counters in rounded characters, tight hairline connections, and pointed, knife-like terminals that give curves a sculpted feel. Uppercase proportions read stately and slightly narrow in their interior spacing, while the lowercase maintains a balanced x-height with clean, vertical stress and a smooth, controlled modulation. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction, with elegant curves and delicate top and bottom finishing that stays consistent across the set.
Best suited to headline and subhead sizes in magazines, lookbooks, and culture or lifestyle layouts where contrast and refinement are desired. It can also serve for premium branding elements—wordmarks, packaging titles, and campaign typography—where sharp detail and a polished voice are priorities.
The overall tone is refined and high-end, with a distinctly dramatic contrast that feels suited to luxury, culture, and fashion contexts. Its sharp terminals and glossy stroke transitions project confidence and sophistication, leaning more formal than casual and more display-forward than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-leaning editorial serif: classical structure paired with heightened contrast, tapered transitions, and refined finishing for impactful display typography.
In text, the strong thick–thin pattern creates a sparkling texture, especially in sequences with many curves and diagonals. The distinctive, slightly flared endings and pointed serif treatment lend a tailored, contemporary edge to a fundamentally classical silhouette, helping headings feel crisp and intentional.
