A sharp, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline connecting strokes. Serifs are small and tapered with a subtly flared, chiseled feel at stroke endings, giving the letters a sculpted, calligraphic snap rather than flat bracketed terminals. Proportions run on the wider side with generous counters and a steady, upright stance; curves are smooth and round while diagonals cut cleanly, producing a crisp, glossy rhythm in both caps and lowercase. The lowercase shows a compact, readable structure with clear bowls and open apertures, while figures follow the same contrast logic with elegant, display-oriented detailing.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, luxury branding, packaging, and poster titles where the high contrast and tapered terminals can read as intentional detail. It can work for short blocks of text in editorial layouts when set large enough and with comfortable leading, but it naturally performs strongest as a statement face.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, with a fashion-forward sheen and a sense of drama created by the extreme contrast and razor-thin hairlines. It reads as confident and upscale, balancing classic refinement with a slightly contemporary, graphic bite.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, high-end serif voice with dramatic contrast and sculpted terminals that feel both classical and fashion-led. The wide proportions and polished curves suggest an intention toward premium display work and elegant typographic color in headlines.
The font’s impact increases quickly with size: hairlines and tapered terminals become a defining texture, and the wide set adds spaciousness in headlines. In dense settings the contrast creates a lively sparkle, so spacing and background contrast will strongly influence perceived clarity.
