A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline connections. Vertical strokes carry most of the weight while horizontals and joins taper to fine lines, creating a sharp, airy texture. Serifs are small and subtly flared rather than blocky, with tapered terminals that feel calligraphic. Proportions lean expansive with generous curves (notably in round letters) and a slightly high-waisted rhythm where contrast and tapering emphasize the mid-to-upper portions of forms.
Best suited to magazine and book covers, fashion and beauty branding, and premium packaging where elegant contrast can be showcased. It performs especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and large-format typography, and can add a refined voice to short passages when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing give it a confident, cultured voice that reads as modern-classic rather than purely historical. The texture feels premium and fashion-forward, suited to settings where sophistication and presence matter more than neutrality.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with a contemporary, high-contrast finish, using flared endings and hairline joins to heighten elegance and visual drama. It prioritizes a polished display character and a refined rhythm that supports sophisticated branding and editorial typography.
In text, the thin hairlines and narrow connecting strokes create bright internal spaces and a sparkling page color, especially at larger sizes. The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, presenting as sleek and display-leaning rather than utilitarian. Curved letters and diagonals show careful tapering into terminals, reinforcing the flared, chiseled finish across the set.
