A sharply modulated serif with dramatic thick–thin contrast and crisp hairline features. Stems and joins show subtle flaring into the terminals and serifs, giving a sculpted, chiseled feel rather than strictly bracketed transitions. Counters are generous and largely vertical in stress, with narrow hairline cross-strokes and pointed apexes on forms like A and V. The lowercase is compact and tidy with a relatively modest x-height, while round letters (o, e, c) maintain taut curves and fine entry/exit strokes; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with elegant, fashion-oriented proportions.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, editorial spreads, brand marks, and premium packaging where high contrast can be showcased. It also works for pull quotes and short passages set large, where the fine hairlines and flared details remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and elevated, projecting a fashion and publishing sensibility. Its delicate hairlines and sculptural flares read as premium and intentional, suited to designs that aim for sophistication and clarity at display sizes.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with a more fashion-forward, sculpted finish, using flared terminals and extreme contrast to create a luxurious, contemporary editorial voice.
The font’s rhythm relies on strong verticals and extremely thin connecting strokes, producing a crisp texture and pronounced sparkle in text. Uppercase characters appear particularly stately and monumental, while the lowercase adds a slightly more literary, bookish cadence without losing the sharp, refined finish.
