A high-contrast serif with vertical stress and sharply thinned hairlines set against sturdy main strokes. Serifs are tapered and slightly flared with soft, bracketed joins, giving terminals a sculpted, calligraphic finish rather than a blunt cut. Uppercase forms feel stately and controlled, while the lowercase shows lively modulation—especially in the two-storey a and g and the crisp, compact joins in letters like n and m. Overall spacing reads even in text, with crisp outlines and a polished rhythm that favors display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities where high contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated. It works well for posters and book covers, and for short, prominent text blocks; for long passages, it will generally benefit from generous size and comfortable leading to protect the thin strokes.
The tone is elegant and confident, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its sharp contrast and refined terminals evoke fashion, luxury, and cultural publishing, balancing classic sophistication with a slightly dramatic, contemporary edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward take on a classic high-contrast serif, emphasizing elegant hairlines and sculpted, flared terminals for premium display typography.
Curves are clean and taut, with prominent swelling on verticals and very fine cross-strokes that add sparkle in headlines. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and feel suited to titling contexts, where the thin strokes can remain clear.
