A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong vertical stems, showing a pronounced diagonal stress in curved letters. Serifs read as fine, sharp wedges that often feel like flared stroke endings rather than heavy brackets, giving many terminals a tapered, chiseled finish. Counters are relatively open and the curves are tightly controlled, while joins and beak-like details (notably in forms like G, K, and the numerals) add crispness. Overall spacing and rhythm feel measured and formal, with a distinct mix of narrow and broad shapes that creates a lively texture in text.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, section openers, and other editorial settings where contrast and refinement are desirable. It can support premium branding and packaging when used with generous sizing and careful reproduction, and it works effectively for book covers and pull quotes where a formal, high-end tone is needed.
The tone is polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-oriented sophistication. Its sharp contrast and sculpted terminals convey confidence and luxury, while the classical stress and serif detailing keep it rooted in traditional book and magazine typography.
The design appears intended to combine classic serif proportions with dramatic contrast and flared, tapered finishing, producing a contemporary luxury look that remains typographically traditional. It prioritizes visual elegance and headline impact while keeping enough structure and regularity to function in short-to-medium text settings.
At display sizes the hairlines and pointed terminals become a defining feature, producing a dramatic sparkle on the baseline and cap line. In longer passages the strong contrast and crisp joins create a bold, authoritative voice, with numerals and capitals offering a particularly stately presence.
