A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapering serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give the forms a carved, fashion-forward feel. Stress is predominantly vertical, with thin hairlines that snap into heavier stems, creating a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Curves are clean and taut, counters are fairly open, and terminals often finish in pointed wedges rather than blunt cuts. Capitals are stately and compact in silhouette, while the lowercase maintains a steady x-height and a consistent, editorial texture in text.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, brand marks, posters, and premium packaging where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers, but the fine hairlines suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution reproduction.
The overall tone is elegant and commanding, with a dramatic contrast that reads as premium and meticulously crafted. It evokes a modernized classicism—traditional serif cues presented with sharper, more stylized finishes—producing a confident, high-end voice suited to attention-grabbing typography.
Designed to deliver a refined, contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, emphasizing dramatic stroke modulation and flared, wedge-like endings for impact. The intent appears geared toward expressive titling and brand-forward typography that feels polished and upscale.
In the samples, the hairlines become very delicate at display sizes, especially where diagonal joins and inner curves create the thinnest points. Numerals share the same sculpted contrast and pointed detailing, keeping the set visually cohesive for headlines and titling systems.
