A high-contrast serif with sculpted, calligraphic modulation and pronounced flaring where stems transition into terminals. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with crisp joins and smooth curves that create a polished, chiselled feel. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow with elegant curves (notably in C, G, and S), while the lowercase shows a slightly more text-friendly rhythm with compact bowls and a clear, upright stress. Numerals follow the same display-oriented contrast, mixing strong verticals with hairline connections and pointed finishing strokes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where its contrast and detailing can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding, beauty/fashion applications, and packaging where a sophisticated, high-impact serif is desired. For longer passages, it benefits from generous size, leading, and careful tracking to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, leaning toward luxury and fashion sensibilities. Its sharp hairlines and flared endings give it a poised, high-end voice that feels at home in curated editorial contexts rather than utilitarian UI.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classical serif: strong vertical presence, refined hairlines, and flared terminals that add a signature, couture-like finish. It prioritizes visual elegance and impact while keeping letterforms conventional enough for familiar editorial typography.
In longer setting, the hairline details and tight interior spaces become more prominent, emphasizing its display character and the importance of adequate size and spacing. The mix of crisp serifs and flared stroke endings creates a distinctive silhouette that reads as both classical and contemporary.
