A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation, giving strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. Serifs are sharp and often wedge-like with subtle bracketing, and many joins terminate in tapered points rather than blunt ends. Proportions lean elegant and slightly condensed in the rounds, with lively, varied character widths and a rhythm that alternates between narrow verticals and expansive curves. The italics are absent here; the upright design still shows italic-like energy through angled terminals, pointed apexes, and a sweeping, decorative tail on select capitals.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and short-form display where its contrast and sharp detailing can read cleanly. It also fits branding and packaging that benefit from a refined, high-end impression, and works well for editorial layouts when set with generous size and spacing.
The tone is polished and dramatic, projecting a luxe, editorial sensibility with a hint of old-world sophistication. Its sharp finishing and strong contrast add theatrical flair, making text feel curated and premium rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on classic serif letterforms: traditional structure enlivened with sharper terminals, elegant tapering, and a few signature decorative gestures for memorability in display use.
Capitals feature distinctive, stylized constructions—most notably the sweeping, swash-like tail on the Q and the sculpted diagonals in letters like K, V, W, and X. Lowercase forms stay relatively restrained but keep the same razor-thin joins and tapered terminals, which can sparkle at display sizes and become delicate at very small sizes.
