A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and bold, sculpted main strokes that frequently widen into flared terminals. Serifs are sharp and tapered, giving many letters knife-like entry and exit points, while bowls and rounds are smooth and slightly condensed in feel. Uppercase forms read stately and structured, with crisp diagonals and pronounced thick–thin transitions; lowercase shows similarly strong contrast with compact, upright proportions and clean, deliberate joins. Numerals follow the same dramatic modulation, mixing sturdy verticals with delicate connecting hairlines for a polished, display-forward rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and branding where strong contrast and refined detail can be showcased. It fits fashion, beauty, and culture/editorial layouts, premium packaging, and poster-style typography; for long passages, it will perform most comfortably when set with generous size and spacing to protect the hairlines.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, combining classic editorial sophistication with a modern, high-fashion edge. Its pronounced contrast and pointed details create a sense of drama and exclusivity, lending text a curated, premium voice rather than a casual one.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: crisp, sculptural letterforms with flared stroke endings for a distinctive signature in display typography. It prioritizes elegance and visual impact, balancing traditional serif cues with sharper, more fashion-forward detailing.
In the sample paragraph, the thin strokes and sharp terminals create a lively sparkle, while the heavier stems maintain clear letter presence. The design favors crisp reproduction at larger sizes, where the flared endings and hairline detail can read cleanly and feel intentionally luxurious.
