A high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and robust verticals, showing a distinctly sculpted, flared treatment at stroke ends. Serifs are sharp and precise, with tapered joins and a clean, chiseled feel rather than blunt terminals. Uppercase forms are stately and wide-set with strong vertical stress; curves are smooth and controlled, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are razor-thin in places, heightening contrast. Lowercase is moderately compact with a traditional two-storey a and g, narrow apertures, and delicate hairline cross-strokes (notably in e, f, and t). Numerals follow the same refined contrast, pairing sturdy stems with very thin connecting strokes for an elegant, editorial rhythm.
Best suited to display and editorial applications such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, luxury branding, and packaging where the high contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short text passages in high-quality print or carefully tuned digital settings, especially with generous leading and comfortable letterspacing.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, projecting a fashion-and-editorial sophistication with a classical underpinning. Its dramatic contrast and crisp flare details lend a sense of ceremony and exclusivity, reading as confident and polished rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, contemporary take on classical high-contrast serif construction, emphasizing flared stroke endings and crisp hairlines for an elevated, premium voice in both headline and select text use.
At larger sizes the hairlines and tapered transitions become a defining feature, producing a sparkling texture in text and a striking silhouette in display. The design’s narrow internal spaces and fine cross-strokes can visually soften or lighten at small sizes, especially in dense settings or on low-resolution outputs.
