A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and dominant verticals, set on a wide, open footprint. The serifs read as delicate wedges and subtle flares rather than heavy brackets, giving terminals a sharpened, carved feel. Curves are smooth and taut, with tight joins and crisp apexes on diagonals; counters are generous and the rhythm is spacious. In text, the strong thick–thin modulation creates a shimmering texture and clear hierarchy, with capitals carrying a stately, display-led presence.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, cover lines, posters, and high-contrast editorial typography. It can also work for short pull quotes and section titles where the crisp hairlines and dramatic modulation can be preserved.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and refined detailing evoke a confident, high-end voice that feels formal without becoming ornate.
Likely intended as a modern, high-contrast serif for premium display typography, balancing classical Didone-style drama with flared, sharpened terminals for a contemporary editorial edge.
The design relies on fine details—especially hairlines and terminals—which become a defining feature at larger sizes. The wide proportions and open counters help maintain clarity, while the contrast adds punch and a pronounced vertical emphasis in headlines.
