A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty vertical stems, shaped with subtly flared stroke endings and sharp, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are fine and elegantly bracketed, giving joins a sculpted, calligraphic feel rather than purely geometric construction. The capitals are tall and commanding with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and clean, tapered cross-strokes. Lowercase shows a relatively compact, text-friendly rhythm with narrow joins, small apertures, and neatly finished terminals; the overall spacing feels slightly expansive, letting the contrast and serifs breathe at display sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic with refined curves and delicate hairlines, matching the uppercase tone.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and large-format editorial typography where the high contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding, beauty and fashion applications, and packaging that benefits from a refined, classical tone. For long passages, it will perform most comfortably when given generous size and spacing.
The font reads as polished and high-end, with a theatrical sense of contrast that suggests sophistication and ceremony. Its sharp terminals and poised proportions create an editorial voice—confident, stylish, and a little dramatic—while the restrained detailing keeps it from feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary luxury serif voice by combining classic high-contrast proportions with subtly flared, sharpened terminals for extra sparkle and presence. It aims to feel both traditional and fashion-forward, prioritizing elegance and impact in display-led settings.
In the sample text, the contrast and fine serifs become most prominent at large sizes, producing a shimmering texture in dense lines. The forms remain upright and controlled, with a slightly calligraphic tension in diagonals and curves that adds character without breaking consistency.
