This typeface is a high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines set against strong verticals, producing a polished, scintillating texture. Serifs and terminals are sharp and precise, with a subtly flared, tapering behavior where strokes transition into thin endings. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, and the overall proportions feel tall and elegant, with open counters and carefully balanced spacing that keeps the rhythm airy despite the strong contrast. Numerals and capitals read as display-oriented, with sculpted forms and fine details that reward larger sizes.
Well suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where the contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also fits fashion and lifestyle editorial design, premium branding, and packaging where an upscale, refined voice is desired. For longer passages, it performs best with comfortable sizes and generous line spacing to preserve clarity of the hairlines.
The tone is poised and sophisticated, combining classical bookish authority with a distinctly modern, high-fashion edge. Its sharp finesse and dramatic contrast create a sense of luxury and formality, suitable for work that wants to feel premium, curated, and confident.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a refined serif: dramatic contrast, crisp finishing, and subtle flaring that adds sophistication without becoming ornamental. It aims to provide strong headline presence while maintaining enough regularity and spacing discipline to work in editorial typography.
The design relies on delicate hairlines and fine terminals, so it benefits from good reproduction conditions and tends to look best when given room to breathe. In text settings it creates a lively, sparkling color, while at larger sizes the flared transitions and razor-thin details become a key part of the personality.
