A high-contrast serif with sleek, hairline-thin connections and sharply tapered thick strokes that often flare into pointed, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms are upright and open, with generous sidebearings and a wide, airy texture that keeps dense settings from feeling heavy. Serifs and terminals read as blade-like rather than bracketed, and curves are drawn with a sculptural, calligraphic tension—especially in rounded capitals and the more dynamic lowercases. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, polished rhythm, emphasizing clean verticals, fine joins, and crisp finishing details.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display typography where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It works especially well for fashion and lifestyle editorial design, luxury branding, and refined promotional materials where a crisp, high-end impression is desired.
The overall tone is elevated and editorial, projecting a sense of luxury and control through extreme contrast and precise, sharp terminals. It feels fashionable and contemporary-classic at once, with a dramatic sparkle in large sizes that reads as premium and curated rather than rustic or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice: wide and airy in texture, with dramatic contrast and flared, pointed endings that heighten elegance and visual impact. Its construction prioritizes sophistication and sparkle in large-scale text, balancing classic serif structure with a more sculpted, contemporary finish.
At display sizes the hairlines and tapered joins create a bright, shimmering cadence, while the wide proportions help maintain clarity in short headlines. The ampersand and several lowercase forms show a distinctly calligraphic influence, adding a touch of personality without breaking the formal, high-end voice.
