A high-contrast serif with sharp, triangular wedge serifs and smooth, calligraphic transitions between thick verticals and hairline horizontals. Stems broaden toward the terminals, creating subtly flared endings and bracketed connections that keep the forms crisp rather than slab-like. Capitals are tall and stately with sculpted curves (notably in C, G, S, and Q), while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and lively rhythm through rounded bowls, compact apertures, and occasional ball terminals. Numerals match the text style with strong stroke contrast and elegant curves, reading clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display settings where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It works well for editorial layouts, luxury branding, packaging, and event collateral that call for a refined, classic serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, leaning toward fashion and magazine typography. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast feel formal and confident, with a slightly theatrical, high-end presence suited to statement setting.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: dramatic enough for attention in display use, but structured with consistent proportions and clean serifs for composed, professional typography.
The design shows a deliberate interplay of razor-thin hairlines and heavier verticals, producing a sparkling texture in words and a strong silhouette in single letters. Curved letters exhibit careful modulation, and several forms (such as the lowercase a, e, and g) add warmth through rounded terminals and soft bracketing while keeping an overall crisp edge.
