A high-contrast serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction: thick verticals taper quickly into hairline joins and terminals, and many strokes end in subtle flares rather than bracketed slabs. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like, with thin, blade-like horizontals and pronounced modulation through curves. The forms feel slightly condensed in places with tight apertures and clean, controlled counters, while diagonals and arms stay delicate and precise, giving the overall texture a crisp, sparkling rhythm at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display applications where its contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for premium branding, packaging, and magazine-style layouts that benefit from a refined, high-fashion serif voice.
The tone is polished and upscale, with a fashionable editorial presence and a hint of classical formality. Its sharp hairlines and flared endings create a dramatic, cultivated voice that reads as luxurious and intentional rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif for editorial and branding use, combining crisp hairlines with flared, calligraphic stroke endings to create a distinctive, luxurious texture on the page.
In the sample text, the hairline elements and fine serifs contribute to a lively, high-definition texture, while the heavier vertical stress keeps words anchored and legible at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with thin diagonals and pronounced thick–thin transitions that suit titling and figure-heavy headlines.
