A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and strong, sculpted main strokes that subtly widen into flared terminals. Serifs are pointed and knife-like, with a crisp, engraved feel rather than blunt slab endings. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, while joins and apexes stay sharp, giving capitals a statuesque, display-forward presence. Lowercase forms are compact with a relatively moderate x-height and clear calligraphic modulation, producing lively rhythm in text despite the pronounced contrast.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, brand marks, and packaging where the high contrast and sharp details can hold attention. It also works well for short editorial passages and pull quotes at comfortable sizes, especially in print or high-resolution digital settings where fine hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, mixing editorial polish with a hint of vintage engraving. It reads as premium and authoritative, suited to contexts where elegance and contrast are meant to be noticed.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, high-fashion serif voice with classical roots—combining engraved sharpness, calligraphic modulation, and flared finishing to create a distinctive display texture without losing typographic discipline.
In the sample text, the strong stroke contrast and delicate hairlines create a sparkling texture at larger sizes, while the sharp terminals and tight curves keep word shapes crisp. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, appearing classic and fashion-oriented rather than utilitarian.
