A refined serif with strong thick–thin modulation and a noticeably canted, reverse-leaning posture. Strokes often taper into pointed, flared terminals, with bracketed serifs that feel sharpened rather than blunt. Curves are drawn with a slightly calligraphic stress, and joins stay crisp, giving counters a lively, asymmetric rhythm. The texture in text is elegant and varied, with pronounced diagonal energy in letters like N, V, W, and in the figures.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display settings where its sharp modulation and reverse-italic posture can be appreciated. It also fits magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, and literary book covers that benefit from a polished, expressive serif voice. For longer passages, it works well when set with generous spacing and comfortable sizes to preserve its delicate details.
The overall tone is sophisticated and dramatic, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its sharp tapers and lively slant add a sense of motion and personality that reads as expressive rather than purely utilitarian. The font feels premium and slightly idiosyncratic, suited to designs that want elegance with edge.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with a modern, fashion-forward gesture—using tapered, flared terminals and a reverse-leaning slant to create distinctive movement. It prioritizes elegance and character, aiming for a memorable editorial texture and a premium, crafted feel.
The numerals show the same tapered, high-fashion detailing as the letters, with distinctive curves and pointed ends. In the sample text, the rhythm alternates between dense dark strokes and hairline connections, creating a sparkling, high-contrast page color. The ampersand and punctuation maintain the same crisp, flared finishing, supporting cohesive display typography.
