A high-contrast serif with sculpted, calligraphic modulation and crisp tapering. Stems swell and then flare into sharp, wedge-like endings rather than heavy bracketed serifs, giving strokes a carved, blade-edged finish. Curves are smooth and taut with narrow joins, and counters feel clean and open; the overall rhythm alternates between hairline connections and weighty verticals. Uppercase proportions read poised and slightly formal, while the lowercase shows elegant, flowing shapes with distinctive terminals and a lively, refined texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, and prominent editorial typography where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging, especially for beauty, fashion, hospitality, and culture-focused identities, and can work for short text passages at comfortable sizes with generous leading.
The font conveys a polished, fashion-forward elegance with a dramatic, high-end tone. Its sharp tapers and glossy contrast evoke magazine typography, luxury branding, and contemporary editorial design where sophistication and presence are prioritized over neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif voice that feels luxurious and crisp, using flared stroke endings and fine hairlines to create a distinctive, high-impact silhouette in display and editorial settings.
In the sample text, the spacing and stroke contrast create a bright, shimmering page color at larger sizes, while thin hairlines and pointed terminals add sparkle and precision. Numerals share the same sculpted contrast and tapered details, reinforcing a consistent, display-leaning personality across letters and figures.
