A high-contrast serif with broad proportions and crisp, finely tapered details. Thick vertical stems and rounded bowls are paired with hairline horizontals and razor-thin joining strokes, creating a bold light–dark rhythm. Serifs are sharp and mostly unbracketed, often forming pointed wedges at terminals; many letters show elegant, calligraphic-looking cuts where strokes meet. The uppercase feels wide and stately, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with compact counters and distinctive, sculpted terminals that remain clear at display sizes.
This font is well suited to large-scale typography such as magazine mastheads, editorial headlines, posters, and premium brand identities. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging where its sharp contrast and wide stance can be showcased without crowding.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, projecting a polished, editorial sensibility associated with luxury branding and fashion typography. Its sharp hairlines and expansive letterforms add drama and formality, giving headlines a confident, curated presence.
The design appears intended as a modern, display-oriented serif that emphasizes contrast and sculpted terminals to deliver a distinctive, fashion-forward look while retaining classical letterform structure.
In the text sample, the thin hairlines and tight joins contribute to a sparkling texture that reads best when generously sized and given comfortable spacing. Numerals and capitals carry the same engraved, sculptural logic, supporting a cohesive display voice across letters and figures.
