This typeface is a delicate, high-contrast serif with slender hairlines set against fuller vertical strokes and a distinctly sculpted, flared finish in many terminals. Serifs read as fine, sharp, and precise rather than blocky, with clean joins and a polished, controlled stroke modulation. Uppercase proportions feel classic and poised, with narrow apertures and smooth, round bowls; the lowercase shows a two-storey “g” with a prominent ear, a compact “a,” and generally taut curves that emphasize the contrast. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with thin connecting strokes and elegant, slightly calligraphic curves.
It is well-suited to headlines, magazine layouts, and brand identities where elegance and contrast are desirable. It will shine in larger settings such as covers, pull quotes, titling, and luxury packaging, where the fine hairlines and sharp serifs can remain clear.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, projecting a sense of luxury and ceremony. Its dramatic contrast and razor-fine details create a confident, high-fashion voice that feels curated and premium rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward take on a classic serif: emphasizing dramatic contrast, sharpened detailing, and flared terminals to create a distinctive display voice with an upscale feel.
The face relies on crisp thin strokes and pointed terminals, producing a sparkling texture at display sizes and a more fragile, airy presence as sizes decrease. Rhythm is driven by strong verticals and carefully tapered joins, giving words a sleek, high-end sheen.
