A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals that bloom into subtle flares at stroke endings. The letterforms feel open and generously spaced, with wide capitals, smooth oval bowls, and sharp, triangular apexes in forms like A and V that emphasize a chiseled silhouette. Serifs are fine and bracketed, often resolving into hairline points, while joins and curves are clean and continuous, giving the design an elegant, high-definition rhythm. Lowercase shows a balanced, bookish structure with a double-storey a and g, a narrow, light t, and a gentle, calligraphic flow through shoulders and bowls.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury identity work, and book or album covers where contrast and detail can shine. It can also work for pull quotes and section openers in editorial design, especially with ample leading and careful tracking.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, combining fashion-led drama with classical restraint. Its crisp contrast and flared finishing strokes add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, making text feel curated and premium rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-oriented interpretation of classic serif typography, using strong contrast and flared terminals to create a refined, memorable voice. It balances readability with display flair, aiming for high-impact elegance in both short headlines and set text.
In text, the design maintains a steady cadence with clear word shapes and strong vertical emphasis, while the hairline details and sharp terminals become more prominent at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals carry a display-like elegance, with distinctive curves and pointed finishing strokes that contribute to a stately, editorial presence.
