A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a distinctly sculpted, flared treatment where many strokes widen as they approach terminals. Serifs are sharp and finely bracketed, with wedge-like ends and tapered hairlines that create an elegant, cutting rhythm. Uppercase forms feel stately and high-contrast with smooth curves and tight joins, while the lowercase shows a more calligraphic modulation—especially in the a, e, g, and y—balancing crispness with flowing movement. Figures follow the same contrasty logic, with slender horizontals and sturdy verticals that read best at display sizes.
Well suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, and premium packaging where contrast and sharp detail can shine. It also works for pull quotes, titles, and short blocks of editorial text when set with comfortable size and leading to preserve the thin strokes.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, projecting an editorial, fashion-forward sensibility with a hint of classical book typography. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast add sophistication and a slightly theatrical edge, making the voice feel confident, cultured, and premium.
The design appears intended to deliver an upscale serif voice that combines classical proportions with sculpted, flared stroke endings for added elegance and visual drama. It aims to look authoritative and refined in display contexts while keeping letterforms consistent enough for occasional text use at generous settings.
Spacing in the sample text reads airy and controlled, helping the high contrast and delicate hairlines stay distinct. The design leans on tapered joins and flared endings to create sparkle in headlines, while maintaining a coherent, disciplined structure across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
