A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared terminals and crisp wedge-like finishing on many strokes. Hairlines are extremely thin against bold main stems, creating a striking light–dark rhythm, while serifs feel integrated and tapered rather than blocky. Curves are smooth and generously rounded (notably in C, G, O, and e), paired with pointed joins and sharp apexes in letters like A, V, and W. The lowercase shows a traditional, text-oriented construction with compact bowls and crisp entry/exit strokes; figures align visually with the same contrast and tapering, with elegant, narrow counters in forms like 6, 8, and 9.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and prominent typographic moments where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also fits luxury-oriented branding and packaging, as well as refined poster or invitation work. For extended text, it will perform most comfortably in larger sizes and with adequate line spacing to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is polished and fashion-forward, with a dramatic, editorial snap created by the extreme contrast and knife-thin hairlines. It reads as classic and cultured, evoking magazine typography, luxury branding, and formal printed matter. The flared, calligraphic shaping adds warmth and sophistication without losing precision.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classic serif letterforms, emphasizing elegance through extreme contrast and tapered, flared stroke endings. Its construction balances formal proportions with expressive details that enhance impact in display and editorial contexts.
The font’s contrast and delicate horizontals demand generous size or high-quality reproduction to keep hairlines from disappearing. Its rhythm is lively, with subtle width variation across glyphs that enhances an expressive, display-leaning texture while remaining orderly in paragraph settings.
