A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines set against broad verticals and sharply tapered transitions. The letterforms are upright and crisply drawn, with pointed, wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a carved, calligraphic finish. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with generous inner counters in rounds like O and C, while diagonals and joins stay clean and precise. Overall proportions feel balanced and slightly formal, with a consistent, polished rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster typography where contrast and finesse can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or section openers when paired with ample size, leading, and clean reproduction.
The tone is luxurious and composed, projecting a fashion-forward editorial elegance with a hint of classical gravitas. Its sharp contrast and refined terminals create a dramatic, high-end feel that reads as premium and intentional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver modern editorial sophistication through dramatic contrast, sharp detailing, and controlled proportions, combining classical serif cues with a slightly flared, carved finish for a distinctive premium voice.
The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with a two-storey a and g, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, appearing display-oriented and crisp. The design’s thin horizontals and hairlines add sparkle at large sizes, while the strong verticals keep word shapes stable and authoritative.
