A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong, tapering main strokes that often widen into subtly flared terminals. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like, with a refined, calligraphic stress that gives round letters a sculpted, glossy rhythm. Proportions feel balanced and slightly formal, with crisp apexes on V/W and a stately, wide-shouldered M; counters are clean and open, while joins show gentle bracketing rather than abrupt slab endings. Numerals echo the same contrast and elegance, with curved forms (2, 3, 8, 9) showing pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp finishing strokes.
Best suited to display typography such as editorial headlines, pull quotes, book or album covers, and premium branding where the high contrast can shine. It can also work for short blocks of larger-sized text in fashion, beauty, or cultural contexts, and for upscale packaging that benefits from crisp, refined letterforms.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, projecting a sense of tradition with a contemporary, fashion-forward sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and needle-like detailing read as confident and ceremonial, suited to environments where elegance and visual hierarchy are important.
Likely designed to deliver a modern interpretation of classical high-contrast serifs, combining sharp, hairline detailing with flared stroke endings for a distinctive signature. The intent appears focused on elegant, attention-commanding typography that reads as premium and editorial.
The design’s hairlines and pointed serifs create a delicate sparkle at display sizes, while the flared stroke endings add a distinctive, slightly engraved character. The lowercase includes lively, looped forms (notably in g and y) that introduce a touch of warmth within an otherwise formal system.
