A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and crisp wedge-like serifs. Vertical strokes carry most of the weight while hairlines stay extremely fine, creating a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. The letterforms feel tightly drawn and elegant, with smooth, rounded bowls counterbalanced by sharp joins and pointed apexes; many diagonals and finishing strokes end in knife-like beaks. Uppercase proportions read stately and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with compact counters and decisive, tapering entry/exit strokes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and short passages where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated—such as magazine layouts, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and event posters. It can work for larger-size editorial text, but the very fine hairlines suggest avoiding overly small sizes or low-resolution reproduction.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, projecting an editorial, luxury sensibility. Its sharp contrast and flared finishing give it a couture-like polish with a hint of classical formality, making text feel deliberate and high-status rather than casual.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, fashion-forward serif with classical underpinnings—using extreme contrast and flared terminals to create a distinctive, polished signature for display and editorial settings.
The numerals and caps show strong display character through their thin hairline connections and prominent flare transitions, which can create sparkle at larger sizes. The lowercase ‘a’ and ‘g’ are single-storey and the forms lean toward stylized, calligraphic construction, reinforcing the crafted, boutique voice.
