A refined serif with a calligraphic, high-contrast skeleton and sharp wedge-like finishing. Strokes transition quickly from hairlines to stronger verticals, and many terminals resolve into tapered points rather than blunt cuts, creating a crisp, etched rhythm. The lowercase shows a graceful, slightly lively modulation with compact joins and open counters, while capitals maintain a classical structure with pronounced contrast and carefully controlled curves. Numerals follow the same delicate-thick interplay, with slender diagonals and clean, tapered ends that keep figures airy and precise.
Best suited to editorial typography—magazine headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and refined display settings where contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, beauty/fashion packaging, and poster work that benefits from an elegant, contemporary serif voice.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a fashion-editorial sparkle and a slightly dramatic, high-end polish. Its sharp terminals and bright whites read as confident and modern, while the underlying serif forms keep it rooted in traditional typographic refinement.
The design appears aimed at delivering an upscale, contemporary serif with calligraphic contrast and distinctive tapered endings, balancing classical proportions with a sharper, more fashion-forward finish for display and editorial use.
Spacing and color appear intentionally light, emphasizing white space and fine detailing. The flared stroke endings and pointed wedge terminals give the design a distinctive sparkle at larger sizes, while the strong contrast suggests careful use at smaller sizes where hairlines could become delicate.
