A refined, high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and pronounced thick-to-thin transitions. Serifs are sharp and tapered with subtle flaring at terminals, giving strokes a chiseled, sculptural finish rather than blunt endings. The capitals feel stately and wide-shouldered with generous interior space, while lowercase forms keep a poised, upright rhythm with neatly drawn joins and compact, tidy curves. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with clear counters and decisive, calligraphic modulation.
Best suited for headlines, magazine typography, fashion-oriented branding, and large-format statements where its contrast and sharp terminals can shine. It can also work for short blocks of editorial text at comfortable sizes, but its fine details are most impactful in display contexts.
The overall tone is polished and premium, leaning toward fashion and editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and razor-like details create a sense of ceremony and authority, reading as elegant, intentional, and slightly theatrical when set large.
The font appears designed to deliver modern elegance through classical serif structure paired with heightened contrast and flared, tapered terminals. Its goal seems to be creating a distinctive, upscale voice that feels at home in editorial and brand environments where refinement and drama are desirable.
The design relies on delicate hairlines and pinpoint terminals, which makes the letterforms look especially crisp at display sizes. Round letters show a strong stress with gleaming, narrow transitions, and diagonal forms (like V/W/X/Y) feel knife-edged and graphic.
