A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and robust vertical stems, producing a crisp, shimmering rhythm in text. Serifs are fine and pointed, with a subtle flaring into stroke terminals that sharpens joins and adds a slightly calligraphic edge. Capitals are stately and wide-set with clean, straight-sided geometry, while curves (C, G, O, Q) are smooth and tightly controlled. Lowercase forms show a moderate x-height, compact bowls, and distinctive tapered terminals (notably on a, c, e, s), keeping counters open but refined. Numerals follow the same contrast model, combining sturdy main strokes with delicate finishing details that read best at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and large-format typography where its contrast and tapered terminals can show clearly. It also fits magazine mastheads, beauty and luxury branding, premium packaging, and elegant invitations where a refined, authoritative serif is desired.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, combining classical bookish credibility with fashion-led sharpness. Its contrast and pointed finishing details create a dramatic, editorial voice suited to sophisticated, image-conscious branding.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, using flared terminals and sharp hairlines to create a distinctive editorial signature. It prioritizes visual drama and refinement over utilitarian neutrality, aiming to stand out in display-led settings.
In the sample text the hairlines and terminals become a defining texture, so spacing and line length benefit from generous settings. The design’s thin elements and crisp joins emphasize printing quality and size: it looks most confident when allowed to breathe and when rendered with good resolution.
