A high-contrast serif with elegant, tapering strokes and hairline finishing details. Vertical stems read crisp and dark while horizontals and connecting strokes drop quickly to thin, giving a bright, shimmering texture in text. Serifs are small and sharp with subtle flaring where strokes meet, producing a sculpted, slightly calligraphic feel rather than blunt bracketed forms. Curves are clean and controlled, with rounded bowls and pointed entry/exit terminals that keep the rhythm lively at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, mastheads, brand marks, and premium packaging where contrast and fine details can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages (pull quotes, intros, captions) when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the thin strokes.
The overall tone is refined and fashion-forward, balancing classical bookishness with a contemporary, high-end polish. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast create a sense of sophistication and ceremony, suited to confident, attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern interpretation of classic high-contrast serif letterforms, emphasizing elegance, sharp detail, and a distinctive flared stroke behavior. It prioritizes visual drama and refinement over neutrality, aiming to elevate titles and brand messaging with a luxurious, editorial voice.
Capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, with a clear hierarchy against the lowercase. The numerals follow the same contrast model, with delicate hairlines that contribute elegance but suggest using generous sizes or good print conditions for best clarity.
