A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads cleanly at display sizes. Stems and diagonals taper into pointed, flared endings, creating sharp, chiseled terminals rather than blunt bracketed feet. Curves are smooth and elliptical with tight apertures, and the overall letterforms feel narrow-to-moderate in proportion with a consistent vertical stance. The lowercase maintains a measured, bookish rhythm, while capitals are poised and statuesque with fine detailing in joins and terminals.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and other prominent display settings where the extreme contrast and fine terminals can remain crisp. It fits luxury branding, editorial layouts, cultural posters, and elegant invitations or packaging where a refined, high-end voice is desired.
The tone is polished and luxe, with a fashion-editorial crispness and a slightly theatrical edge from the dramatic contrast and dagger-like terminals. It suggests premium print, cultured sophistication, and a modern-classic sensibility rather than warmth or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on high-fashion serif styling: dramatic contrast paired with sculpted, flared terminals for a distinctive, premium signature in display typography.
Numerals mirror the same sculpted contrast and delicate hairlines, with open counters and clean silhouettes suited to titling. The thin strokes and sharp finishing details make the face feel most confident when given breathing room in spacing and set at larger sizes.
