This is a high-contrast serif with delicate hairlines, weighty verticals, and crisp, flared terminals that sharpen into wedge-like endings. The forms are upright with a smooth, calligraphic modulation, producing a bright, elegant rhythm in text. Serifs and stroke endings tend to taper rather than sit as blunt slabs, giving the letters a carved, glossy finish and a distinctly refined silhouette. Numerals and capitals show clear, display-leaning proportions while the lowercase maintains a readable, text-capable structure.
It performs especially well for magazine and newspaper-style typography, fashion and beauty branding, and premium packaging where contrast and sharp terminals can read as upscale. It is also well suited to book covers, cultural institutions, and luxury hospitality identities, particularly for titling and short-to-medium text. For best results, give it generous spacing and avoid very small sizes or low-resolution contexts where hairlines may lose presence.
The font conveys a poised, editorial tone with a refined sense of luxury. Its sharp, tapering details and pronounced contrast create a confident, fashion-forward voice that feels formal without becoming overly ornate. Overall it reads as classic and cultivated, with a slightly dramatic, high-style flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a premium, high-contrast serif voice that stands out in headlines while still holding together in continuous reading. The combination of strong vertical presence and fine hairlines suggests an emphasis on sophistication, with flared endings used to add sharpness and visual bite. It aims to feel contemporary-classic: rooted in traditional serif structure but styled for modern editorial and brand environments.
The sample text shows a clean, even texture with strong vertical emphasis and lively punctuation. Rounded letters retain a polished, controlled curvature, while diagonals and join points stay crisp, reinforcing the font’s sharp, tailored character.
