A high-contrast serif with fine hairlines and dominant verticals, combining wedge-like, flared stroke endings with crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are pointed and sharp rather than blocky, and curves show a controlled, calligraphic modulation that tightens at joins and opens into broader bowls. The uppercase feels stately and proportioned for display, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with compact, rhythmic spacing and neatly finished ascenders and descenders. Numerals match the contrast and refinement, with delicate curves and thin joins that keep the overall color light and polished.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and branded typography where its contrast and sharp terminals can shine. It will also work well for luxury packaging and identity systems that need a refined serif voice, particularly at medium-to-large sizes and in well-spaced layouts.
The font projects an editorial, high-end tone—confident, cultured, and a bit theatrical in its dramatic contrast. It reads as premium and formal, evoking fashion, publishing, and classic titling rather than utilitarian text work.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, pairing elegant calligraphic modulation with flared, wedge-like endings for a distinctive, premium display presence.
Stroke contrast is pronounced enough that thin details become a key part of the texture, especially in smaller counters and at tight joins. The overall rhythm is smooth and vertical-led, with an emphasis on sharp finishing and clean silhouettes that favor careful typesetting and generous sizing.
