A very high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and sharply tapered joins, paired with more robust verticals that subtly flare into wedge-like terminals. Serifs are minimal and sharp, often resolving as fine points rather than broad brackets, giving strokes a sculpted, calligraphic finish. Proportions feel classical and slightly condensed in the round letters, with generous counters and a smooth, polished curve rhythm. The lowercase shows delicate construction with thin entry/exit strokes, a two-storey “g,” and slender numerals that maintain the same razor-thin details and tall, elegant stance.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine and lookbook typography, and brand marks where a refined, high-contrast voice is desirable. It will also work well for invitations, luxury packaging, and high-impact poster titling, especially when set with ample spacing and at sizes that preserve its delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a fashion/editorial sophistication that reads as premium and modern-classical. Its crisp hairlines and refined flare details create a sense of glamour and precision, leaning more toward display elegance than utilitarian neutrality.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on high-contrast serif elegance, combining classic proportions with crisp flared terminals for a distinctive, premium display texture. Its forms prioritize visual sophistication and dramatic contrast for editorial and branding-led applications.
The design’s thin connecting strokes and fine terminals create a shimmering texture in text, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines can be fully appreciated. Diagonals in letters like V/W/X and the angled strokes of numerals show particularly dramatic contrast, reinforcing a sharp, high-end look.
