A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. Stems often swell subtly as they approach terminals, creating flared, chiseled endings rather than purely bracketed serifs. Uppercase forms are stately and wide-set with sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W, X) and smooth, sculpted bowls (C, O, Q). The lowercase shows compact, dark verticals with delicate entry strokes, a single-storey g, and a strong right-leaning tail on q; numerals follow the same contrast pattern with a refined 0 and curving 2/3 forms.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty packaging, high-end branding, posters, and elegant title treatments. It can also work for short pull quotes or deck copy where large sizes preserve the hairline detail and contrast.
The overall tone is polished and luxe, with a runway/editorial energy that feels confident and dramatic. Its sharp hairlines and swelling terminals add a slightly theatrical, calligraphic sparkle while keeping a composed, classical posture.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern luxury serif voice by combining extreme contrast with flared, sculptural terminals. It aims for standout elegance and high-impact typography while maintaining familiar, readable letter structures.
In text, the strong contrast and fine hairlines create a lively shimmer and crisp rhythm, especially at larger sizes. The design’s flare at stroke ends gives letters a carved, ink-trap-free clarity that reads as intentionally stylized rather than strictly transitional or Didone-neutral.
