A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strongly weighted verticals, creating a crisp black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are delicate and sharply cut, with subtle bracketing and occasional wedge-like terminals that give strokes a carved, faceted feel. Counters are generally compact and the joins are tense and elegant, producing a distinctly stylized, display-forward texture in both capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same sculptural logic, with pronounced contrast and finely tapered curves.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp detailing can be showcased. It can also work for short bursts of text in editorial layouts when set with generous size and spacing to preserve its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, balancing classic serif sophistication with a slightly unconventional, couture-like sharpness. It reads as premium and editorial, with a controlled flamboyance that feels at home in high-end cultural and commercial contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-contrast serif presence with distinctive, decorative terminal shaping—aiming for a memorable display voice that feels both classic and fashion-forward.
In the sample text, the font builds a lively, sparkling texture with prominent thick–thin transitions and pointed details that become part of the voice. The narrow hairlines and intricate terminals suggest it will be most comfortable at larger sizes where the fine details can remain clear.
