A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and dominant, tapering main strokes that broaden into subtle flared terminals rather than bracketed slab endings. The letterforms show a sharp, chiselled modulation with pointed joins, narrow apertures in places, and a rhythmic alternation of thick verticals against delicate cross-strokes. Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in their internal space, while the lowercase maintains a traditional proportion with compact bowls and crisp, lifted terminals that keep counters lively. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast, with elegant curves and fine, needlelike connections.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and culture editorial, brand wordmarks, and premium packaging where its high contrast can be shown at comfortable sizes. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling, particularly when paired with a simpler companion face for body copy.
The overall tone is polished and fashion-forward, projecting an expensive, editorial sophistication. Its sharp contrast and flared endings add a theatrical edge that reads as confident, modern-classic, and deliberately styled rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary luxury serif with calligraphic sharpness—combining classic proportions with pronounced contrast and flared stroke endings to create a distinctive, high-impact voice for modern editorial and branding contexts.
In text, the hairlines create a sparkling texture and strong vertical emphasis, especially in combinations with tall capitals and narrow counters. The most delicate strokes suggest a preference for generous point sizes and supportive printing/screen conditions where fine details won’t break down.
