A refined serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. Stems are slender and clean, with subtly flared endings and wedge-like touches that give terminals a carved, calligraphic feel rather than flat brackets. Curves are taut and controlled, counters are generous, and the overall rhythm is elegant and slightly formal, with sharp apexes and carefully tapered joins that keep the silhouettes crisp in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and large-format editorial settings where the contrast and hairline details can remain intact. It also fits premium branding, beauty and fashion identities, and upscale packaging where a precise, elegant serif voice is desired.
The tone is polished and high-end, evoking fashion mastheads and editorial typography. Its sharp contrast and delicate finishing details read as poised and cultured, with a cool, contemporary edge layered over classic serif manners.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated display serif that balances classical proportions with sharper, more fashion-forward detailing. By combining pronounced contrast with flared, tapered terminals, it aims to project elegance and authority while keeping the letterforms visually dynamic.
Uppercase forms show strong vertical emphasis and prominent contrast, while lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture with lively stroke tapering. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with thin entry/exit strokes and confident, sculpted bowls that feel designed to match display settings.
