A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and razor-thin hairlines set against broad, weighty stems. Serifs are sharply tapered and slightly flared, with a sculpted, calligraphic feel and controlled bracketing at key joins. The lowercase shows compact, steady proportions with a two-storey a and g, a pointed, descending j, and crisp terminals that keep counters open despite the contrast. Numerals and capitals carry a stately rhythm, with pronounced thick–thin transitions and careful curves that read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium editorial text where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It would work well for fashion and lifestyle branding, magazine typography, posters, and upscale packaging where a refined, high-impact serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, leaning toward an elegant, fashion-forward classicism. Its sharp hairlines and flared finishes create a sense of ceremony and high-end refinement while maintaining a crisp, modern editorial edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: formal structure and traditional proportions paired with flared, sculpted terminals for added sophistication and visual drama in display and editorial contexts.
Spacing appears generous enough for headline setting, and the contrast creates strong texture in paragraphs that becomes most comfortable at larger sizes. Curves on letters like C, G, S, and 2 emphasize a smooth, carved quality, while thin crossbars (notably on t and f) add a delicate, airy sparkle.
