A sharply drawn serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline terminals. Stems and joins feel subtly flared, giving verticals a sculpted, slightly calligraphic profile rather than purely mechanical strokes. Serifs are fine and pointed with crisp beak-like endings on several forms, while rounds show smooth, taut curves and narrow apertures. The lowercase presents compact, tidy shapes with a single-storey “g” and a gently curved descender on “y,” and the figures follow the same high-contrast rhythm with prominent stress and refined finishing details.
This style is well suited to fashion and lifestyle editorial design, luxury brand identities, and attention-grabbing headlines where high contrast can shine. It also works for posters, cover treatments, and short pull quotes when set with ample size and comfortable line spacing to preserve the delicate details.
The overall tone is poised and high-end, with a runway/editorial polish. Its sharp hairlines and controlled curves convey sophistication and formality, while the flared, tapered endings add a subtle humanist warmth that keeps it from feeling cold or purely neoclassical.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, premium display serif: high contrast for visual drama, flared/tapered endings for crafted character, and clean proportions for composed typography in branding and editorial contexts.
At display sizes the fine hairlines read as intentional sparkle and precision, and the strong contrast creates a lively texture in longer lines. In the sample text, the rhythm remains consistent, but the thinnest strokes and tight apertures suggest it benefits from generous sizing and careful use on busy backgrounds.
