A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like serifs that often flare from the stems. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with pointed joins and sharp interior corners that create a chiseled, sculptural feel. Capitals are stately and slightly condensed in impression, while the lowercase shows clear calligraphic influence with lively entry/exit strokes, a compact, upright rhythm, and occasional ball terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with elegant curves and tapered finishes that keep the set cohesive at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for elegant packaging and event collateral, especially when set large with generous tracking and leading to preserve the hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, balancing classic bookish authority with modern fashion polish. Its sharp, glossy contrast and flared endings project confidence and exclusivity, lending a premium, editorial mood that feels both traditional and design-forward.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on high-contrast, calligraphic serif tradition, using flared serifs and crisp terminals to maximize elegance and visual drama in short-form text. Its glyph shapes prioritize distinctive silhouettes and editorial impact over anonymous neutrality.
The design relies on strong negative-space shaping: counters and apertures are carved cleanly, and the most delicate hairlines appear intentionally thin, emphasizing a premium, print-like sparkle. Spacing and silhouette differences across letters add visual variety without breaking the consistent contrast and serif treatment.
