A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines set against strong verticals and smooth, swelling curves. Stems frequently widen into pointed, flared terminals, creating a chiseled, calligraphic finish rather than blunt bracketed endings. The capitals are tall and stately with crisp apexes and delicate cross strokes, while the lowercase keeps a balanced, readable proportion with a compact, elegant rhythm and fine, needle-like serifs. Overall spacing feels measured and slightly airy, helping the thin strokes stay clear in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and branding where high contrast can be showcased at larger sizes. It will also work well for pull quotes and refined packaging or event materials, especially in layouts with generous white space.
The tone is polished and dramatic, with an editorial sophistication that reads as premium and fashion-forward. Its sharp contrast and flared endings add a sense of ceremony and authority, lending a classic, cultivated voice to headlines and titling.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modernized, high-fashion serif voice: classical proportions paired with pronounced contrast and distinctive flared terminals to create a sharp, premium signature for editorial and brand-led applications.
Round forms (like O/0 and bowls in b/p) show smooth modulation and tight, controlled joins, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) finish in fine, pointed tips that emphasize precision. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and slender interior counters that favor display clarity over small-size robustness.
