A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and broad, sculpted main strokes, producing a distinctly calligraphic stress. Serifs are fine and crisp, with occasional flared, tapering joins that make stems feel carved rather than purely bracketed. Curves are smooth and taut, counters are generous, and the overall rhythm alternates confidently between thick verticals and delicate connecting strokes. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with elegant ascenders/descenders, and the figures blend lining-like proportions with similarly dramatic contrast and fine finishing.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine mastheads, section heads, pull quotes, and campaign headlines where its contrast can create impact. It also fits premium branding and packaging—beauty, fragrance, jewelry, hospitality—where a refined, fashion-forward voice is desired. In longer passages it can work for short editorial blocks at comfortable sizes, especially in print.
The typeface reads as polished and luxurious, with a poised, editorial tone. Its sharp contrast and precise finishing add drama and sophistication, suggesting high-end print culture and refined branding rather than utilitarian text setting.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif forms, combining traditional stress and proportions with crisp, flared finishing for a modern editorial presence. It prioritizes elegance and visual drama, aiming for strong hierarchy and a premium feel in display contexts.
The design relies on extremely fine hairlines and delicate serifs, so it visually rewards larger sizes where the detailing can breathe. The italic is not shown; the impression is built entirely from the upright’s crisp contrast, tight curves, and flared stroke behavior.
