A high-contrast serif with narrow proportions and crisp, knife-like hairlines set against weighty verticals. The serifs and terminals are sharply cut and subtly flared, creating tapered stroke endings rather than blunt slabs. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with pronounced thick–thin transitions in letters like O, Q, S, and the numerals. Uppercase forms feel statuesque and formal, while the lowercase maintains a compact rhythm with a straightforward, readable construction and a distinctly calligraphic contrast pattern.
Best suited to headlines, editorial typography, and luxury-facing branding where contrast and elegance are assets. It can add a premium voice to packaging and promotional materials, particularly when set large with comfortable spacing so the fine hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its sharp hairlines and flared finishes read as premium and refined, lending an assertive, headline-forward presence. The look balances classic sophistication with a slightly modern, cut-paper crispness.
Likely designed to deliver a sophisticated display voice built around extreme thick–thin contrast, narrow proportions, and flared, incisive endings. The intention appears to be visual impact and refinement rather than neutral, all-purpose text setting.
The design relies on strong vertical stress and thin joining strokes, giving words a bright, shimmering texture at display sizes. Wide counters and carefully carved terminals help keep the narrow letterforms from feeling cramped, while the numerals echo the same high-contrast, sculpted character.
