This serif typeface combines razor-thin hairlines with strong verticals and subtly flared stroke endings, creating a sculpted, high-contrast silhouette. Serifs read as sharp and tapered with gentle bracketing rather than blunt slabs, and the joins feel slightly calligraphic, especially where strokes swell into terminals. Proportions are fairly classical with a moderate x-height, crisp apertures, and a steady upright rhythm. In text, the contrast and flaring produce a lively, sparkling texture with pronounced thick–thin transitions and clear word shapes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display, pull quotes, and brand marks where contrast and sharp finishing can read clearly. It can also work for premium packaging and invitations, and for short passages at comfortable sizes where the fine hairlines won’t be overwhelmed by reproduction constraints.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, with a fashion-forward editorial feel. Its sharp details and elegant contrast suggest sophistication and confidence, leaning toward premium and heritage-minded aesthetics rather than casual or utilitarian ones.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, emphasizing sculpted flares and crisp terminals for a distinctive, upscale voice. It aims to balance formal elegance with enough regularity to function across both display and selective text applications.
The capitals present a formal, display-leaning presence, while the lowercase maintains enough regularity for short text settings, though the fine hairlines and pointed terminals keep the voice emphatic. Numerals echo the same contrast and finishing, giving figures a poised, print-like character.
