A refined serif with dramatic thick–thin contrast and hairline joins, built on tall proportions and an even, upright rhythm. Strokes often widen subtly as they meet terminals, creating a flared, engraved-like finish rather than blunt slab endings. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with tapered entry/exit strokes and smooth, high-contrast curves that stay clean in counters and bowls. The overall color is light and airy, with crisp vertical emphasis and carefully controlled spacing that keeps the texture consistent in text.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and delicate detailing can shine—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, posters, and title treatments. It can work for short passages at larger sizes where the airy texture and crisp serifs remain clear.
The face projects an editorial, luxury tone—polished, poised, and a bit theatrical. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted terminals feel fashion-forward and premium, lending a sense of sophistication and high-end restraint.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, high-contrast serif voice with flared terminal shaping—combining classical editorial sophistication with a sharp, contemporary finish for brand and headline work.
Capital forms read especially statuesque, with long, fine hairlines and decisive thick stems. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and tapered terminals that look tailored in display settings.
