A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered hairlines and weighty vertical strokes that frequently broaden into subtly flared terminals. The letterforms feel chiseled and calligraphic, with bracketed joins, crisp apexes, and a controlled, slightly varied rhythm from glyph to glyph. Round forms (O, C, G) are narrow and elegant with pronounced thick–thin modulation, while many capitals show long, taut horizontals and refined, needle-like serifs. The lowercase has a notably tall x-height and sturdy stems, supporting clear word shapes even as the fine hairlines and tight apertures add a polished, delicate edge.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, cover lines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, and upscale packaging. It can work for short passages in larger sizes where its high-contrast detailing and flared terminals remain legible and expressive.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical—equal parts classic and fashion-forward. Its extreme contrast and sharp detailing evoke luxury publishing and high-end branding, giving text a poised, curated presence rather than an everyday utilitarian feel.
This design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial serif voice built on dramatic contrast and flared stroke endings, balancing classic proportions with a sharper, more stylized finish for attention-grabbing typography.
In the sample text, the face holds together well at display sizes where the hairlines remain visible and the flared stroke endings read as intentional shaping. Numerals and punctuation follow the same sculpted contrast, with elegant curves and pointed terminals that reinforce the refined, editorial character.
