A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and dominant vertical stems, producing a crisp, polished rhythm. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with subtle flaring at stroke endings that gives terminals a sculpted, calligraphic finish rather than blunt slabs. Curves are smooth and controlled, apertures are relatively open, and the overall drawing favors clean, upright forms with a deliberate, formal cadence. Numerals and capitals read as display-forward, with strong thick–thin modulation that stays consistent across the set.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display applications where its contrast and fine terminals can shine. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and formal invitations, and can work for short editorial passages when size and reproduction keep the hairlines from breaking up.
The tone is poised and luxurious, combining classical bookishness with fashion-style drama. Its high contrast and fine details evoke sophistication, ceremony, and a premium editorial feel, reading as confident and slightly theatrical at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice with classical proportions, leveraging extreme contrast and flared, tapered terminals to create a refined yet striking presence. It prioritizes elegance and visual impact over ruggedness, aiming for a polished, gallery-like typographic texture.
In text settings the thin hairlines and pointed serifs become prominent visual features, creating a sparkling texture and a strong vertical emphasis. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates an upright style optimized for headline and short-form typography where its delicate details can remain clear.
