A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and weighty main strokes that create a sharp black-and-white rhythm. Stems and terminals frequently widen into subtly flared endings, while serifs read as fine, blade-like wedges rather than blunt slabs. The design favors sculpted curves and pointed joins, with tight, clean apertures and elegantly controlled counters; round letters such as O and C show a refined, slightly calligraphic modulation. Uppercase proportions feel stately and headline-oriented, and the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable x-height with lively, tapered details in letters like a, e, and g.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display typography where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging, especially where a refined, fashion-forward serif voice is desired, and can work for short passages in larger sizes when ample leading is available.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, combining classic bookish authority with a contemporary fashion sensibility. Its sharp contrast and flared finishing strokes lend a luxurious, editorial feel, while the precise geometry keeps it poised and controlled rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif look rooted in classical contrast and calligraphic stress, with flared stroke endings adding a distinctive signature. It prioritizes elegance and impact, aiming for crisp reproduction and a strong editorial presence.
In text, the strong contrast produces a distinctive sparkle: hairlines recede while stressed strokes anchor word shapes, making spacing and line breaks visually pronounced. Numerals and capitals appear designed to stand up in display settings, with elegant curves and sharp terminals that reward larger sizes.
