A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered stroke terminals and subtle flaring where stems meet endings. Thick verticals are paired with hairline horizontals and fine joins, creating a sharp, glossy rhythm on the page. Serifs are delicate and often wedge-like rather than bracketed slabs, giving capitals a statuesque presence while keeping counters open and clean. The lowercase shows a slightly calligraphic stress with elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes; numerals follow the same contrast logic, with narrow hairlines and weight concentrated in the main stems.
Well suited to editorial headlines and subheads, magazine covers, luxury branding, and packaging where contrast and elegance are assets. It also works for posters and titling that need a sophisticated, classic voice, and can be used for short-form text when set with enough size and spacing.
The overall tone is refined and fashion-forward, with a sense of classic book typography pushed toward a more dramatic, high-end look. Its sharp hairlines and poised proportions read as cultured and authoritative, lending a premium, curated feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with flared, tapered endings—balancing classical proportions with a more dramatic editorial sheen. It prioritizes elegance and impact, aiming for strong presence in display contexts while retaining typographic discipline.
In continuous text, the strong vertical emphasis and hairline horizontals produce a lively sparkle, especially at larger sizes. The design’s thin details suggest it will benefit from generous sizing and considerate reproduction to preserve the finest strokes.
