A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and bold, tapering main strokes that broaden into subtly flared terminals rather than blunt slabs. The design shows a calligraphic, chiseled feel: joins are sharp, curves are smoothly tensioned, and serifs often resolve into fine points or thin wedges. Capitals are tall and stately with generous interior counters, while the lowercase maintains a traditional proportion with a moderately tall x-height and crisp, bracketless-looking transitions. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and delicate connecting strokes that match the text rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities that want an elegant, fashion-forward serif voice. It also works well for posters and large-scale pull quotes where the dramatic contrast and flared endings can be appreciated without losing the hairline detail.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, projecting a sense of luxury and editorial sophistication. Strong thick–thin contrast creates a confident, high-fashion voice, while the flared finishing details add a subtle handcrafted nuance rather than a purely mechanical modernity.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary luxury serif built on classical calligraphic structure, using extreme contrast and flared terminals to create a distinctive, premium display texture while remaining readable in short text settings.
In the text sample, the face reads cleanly at display sizes, with standout shapes in the round letters and a distinctive, stylized ‘g’ and ‘y’ that add personality. The thinnest hairlines and pointed terminals suggest it will reward careful size and contrast choices, especially on light backgrounds and in larger settings where its fine details can stay intact.
