A high-contrast serif with sharp transitions from hairline joins to swelling main strokes and distinctly tapered, wedge-like serifs. Curves are full and glossy with tight, controlled apertures, while terminals often end in ball/teardrop forms that add a slightly baroque finish. Uppercase proportions feel stately and compact with crisp serifs and strong vertical emphasis; the lowercase carries the same contrast with rounded bowls, lively ear and tail details, and a slightly calligraphic rhythm. Numerals are similarly contrasty and stylish, with pronounced curves and hairline connections that read best at larger sizes.
This font suits magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle editorial, premium branding, and poster typography where the contrast and detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for pull quotes, mastheads, and elegant packaging, especially when set with generous size and breathing room.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical—confident, refined, and designed to command attention. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs evoke luxury and high-end editorial typography, with a hint of vintage glamour.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional serif model by amplifying contrast and sharpening serif geometry, creating an assertive display voice that still retains classic structure. The added ball and teardrop terminals suggest a deliberate emphasis on elegance and character rather than neutrality.
Spacing appears intended for display use: the strong contrast and hairline elements create a bright, sparkling texture that can feel delicate at small sizes. The mix of wedge serifs and rounded terminals gives the face a distinctive, fashion-forward personality while remaining recognizably traditional.
