A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation, crisp hairlines, and flared, bracketed serifs that broaden smoothly from the stems. Curves are generously rounded with tight, pointed joins in places, creating a lively rhythm and pronounced diagonal stress. Uppercase forms feel sculpted and stately, while the lowercase maintains a traditional book-face structure with compact apertures and sturdy verticals. Numerals are similarly contrasty and elegant, with sharp terminals and confident, display-oriented proportions.
This font is best suited to display typography such as magazine headings, pull quotes, book covers, and premium brand identities where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also works for short, high-impact text blocks—especially when ample size, spacing, and good reproduction are available.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, pairing classic editorial authority with a fashion-forward edge. Its sharp hairlines and flared finishing strokes read as refined and upscale, lending a sense of ceremony and sophistication to headlines.
The letterforms suggest an intention to blend classical serif tradition with a more fashion/editorial sharpness, using flared serifs and strong contrast to create a distinctive, luxurious voice for titles and brand-led typography.
The design relies on delicate hairlines and narrow internal counters in several letters, which heightens sparkle in large sizes but can make fine details feel fragile when reduced. The punctuation and dots appear clean and prominent, reinforcing a crisp, high-end texture in text settings.
