A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered strokes and delicate hairlines that accentuate a strong thick–thin rhythm. Serifs read as fine, crisp terminals, while many stems and joins show subtle flare and swelling that gives the outlines a sculpted, calligraphic tension rather than purely mechanical contrast. Proportions feel moderately narrow with a tall, elegant vertical emphasis; counters are open and rounded, and curves transition cleanly into razor-thin links. The lowercase shows compact bowls and a steady, even texture in text, with distinctive, slightly idiosyncratic shapes in letters like a, g, y, and z that add personality without breaking consistency.
Best suited to display and editorial roles—magazine headlines, section openers, brand marks, and premium packaging—where its contrast and fine terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or curated text blocks when generous size and spacing preserve the delicate details.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, with a fashion-editorial refinement that signals premium, curated content. Its contrast and sharp details create a sense of sophistication and formality, while the gentle flaring and sculpted joins keep it from feeling cold or purely neoclassical.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-fashion serif voice: sharp, refined, and attention-grabbing, with subtle flare and calligraphic shaping that adds sophistication and a bespoke feel to display typography.
At larger sizes the hairlines and fine serifs become a key feature, producing a crisp sparkle; in dense settings the strong vertical stress and tight details can make the texture feel bold and authoritative. Numerals carry the same contrast and sharp terminals, supporting display-driven number work such as dates and pricing.
