A sharp, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and robust verticals, set in an upright, carefully balanced roman structure. Stems taper and subtly flare into wedge-like terminals, while the serifs read as crisp and finely cut rather than bracketed slabs. Curves are smooth and tensioned, with narrow apertures and clean joins that create a polished, sculptural rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel stately and controlled; lowercase shows a measured, bookish cadence with a distinctly delicate, precise finish in the thin strokes.
Best used for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and brand marks where its high-contrast detailing can remain clear. It fits fashion and culture magazines, premium packaging, and sophisticated poster work, and can also serve as an accent text face in short passages when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, with a sense of luxury and formality driven by the dramatic contrast and knife-sharp detailing. It feels poised and classic, but also a bit theatrical—well suited to design that wants refinement with visual bite.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a refined serif: classic proportions paired with pronounced contrast and flared, chiseled terminals to create a luxurious, editorial-forward voice that stands out in display settings.
In text, the thin strokes and tight interior spaces create a bright, high-end page color at larger sizes, while the pointed terminals and flared endings give headings a distinctive, crafted signature. Numerals and capitals share the same chiseled contrast and crisp finishing, reinforcing a cohesive, display-leaning personality.
