A high-contrast serif with a sculpted, flared stroke structure and sharp, hairline terminals. Thick verticals dominate while horizontals and connecting strokes collapse to fine lines, creating a crisp, gleaming rhythm in text. Serifs are delicate and pointed rather than blocky, with subtle bracketing and flare that gives stems a carved, calligraphic feel. Proportions lean elegant and slightly condensed in the caps, while the lowercase shows a conventional x-height with pronounced thin joins and teardrop-like details in places.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and brand marks where high contrast can be showcased. It can also work for upscale packaging and invitations, especially when paired with ample whitespace and careful typesetting.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, projecting a fashion and magazine sensibility with a distinctly classic backbone. Its extreme contrast and sharp finishing cues suggest luxury, formality, and a curated, high-end voice rather than casual neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial take on classical high-contrast serifs, using flared shaping and knife-thin details to create a premium, attention-grabbing texture. It prioritizes elegance and impact over utilitarian neutrality, aiming for a refined display voice that still holds together in short text passages at generous sizes.
In larger sizes the fine hairlines read as precise and airy, while the bold main strokes maintain strong presence. The numerals and capitals feel designed for display settings, and the italic-like inflections in terminals and flares add a slightly theatrical, editorial energy even while remaining upright.
