A refined display serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation, producing a crisp, high-fashion silhouette. Stems broaden subtly into flared endings, while serifs and terminals stay sharp and delicate, giving the letters a carved, calligraphic edge without obvious slant. Capitals are stately and open with clean curves and tapered joins; lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with tight, poised shapes and small apertures that read best at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, pairing sturdy verticals with hairline cross-strokes and elegant curves.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It fits magazine design, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster work; for long passages, it will perform more comfortably at larger text sizes with generous leading.
The tone is luxurious and composed, with a dramatic contrast that signals sophistication and premium branding. It feels contemporary-editorial rather than rustic, balancing classical serif cues with a sleek, minimal sharpness.
The design appears intended to deliver an upscale, modern serif voice by combining extreme contrast with subtly flared stroke endings and crisp terminals. The overall goal is impact and elegance in display typography while maintaining enough structure to set short blocks of editorial copy.
Stroke contrast creates strong sparkle and a rhythmic pattern in text, especially where hairlines meet thick verticals. Spacing appears measured and slightly airy, supporting wide, headline-driven setting, while the finest strokes may visually soften at small sizes or low-resolution reproduction.
