This serif features extreme thick-to-thin modulation with crisp hairline serifs and a strongly vertical, upright stance. Curves are smooth and sculpted, with swelling bowls and tight joins that emphasize the contrast; horizontals and hairline diagonals become razor-thin at points. The serifs are refined and sharply finished rather than blocky, and several lowercase forms show pronounced terminals (including teardrop/ball-like endings) that add sparkle. Overall spacing feels generous and the letterforms read as broad, giving the design a confident, high-impact texture in both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and large editorial typography where its contrast and refined serifs can shine. It also fits fashion and luxury branding, packaging, and posters, especially when printed or rendered at sizes that preserve the hairline details.
The tone is polished and theatrical, pairing classical refinement with a modern, high-fashion edge. Its sharp contrast and gleaming hairlines project luxury and authority, while the lively terminals add a slightly expressive, headline-forward character.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-contrast text-and-display serif that delivers classic sophistication with pronounced typographic drama. Its broad proportions and sparkling terminals suggest an emphasis on impact and elegance in editorial and brand-led settings.
In the sample text the strong contrast creates striking word shapes, but the thinnest strokes and hairline serifs become delicate, making it most comfortable at larger sizes and in high-quality reproduction. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and tapered details that align with the overall formal rhythm.
