A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline detailing. Strokes transition from slender, needle-like terminals into fuller stems with subtly flared endings, giving the letterforms a sculpted, calligraphic finish without becoming ornate. Capitals are tall and stately with crisp bracketless-feeling hairlines, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and a smooth, even rhythm. Curves are clean and controlled, counters are fairly open, and the overall texture reads polished and glossy in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine spreads, and large-format typography where the contrast and hairline details can remain crisp. It works especially well for fashion and luxury branding, cultural event posters, and elegant packaging or invitations where a refined, high-impact serif is desired.
The typeface conveys a refined, luxurious tone with a dramatic, editorial presence. Its sharp contrasts and poised proportions suggest fashion, culture, and premium branding, balancing sophistication with a slightly theatrical edge.
Likely drawn to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice built around extreme contrast and precise finishing. The flared stroke endings add a distinctive signature that differentiates it from more strictly neoclassical models while keeping a disciplined, editorial structure.
The design relies on fine hairlines and delicate joins, which give it sparkle but can become fragile at small sizes or on low-resolution output. Numerals follow the same contrast-forward logic and feel well matched to the uppercase, supporting confident titling and headline settings.
