A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and bold, sculpted main strokes that frequently flare into wedge-like terminals. Serifs read as pointed and dynamic rather than bracketed, giving many joins and endings a cut, chiseled feel. The lowercase shows moderate x-height with compact bowls and lively curves, while capitals are stately with broad forms and crisp internal counters. Overall spacing and rhythm feel even and text-ready, with a distinctly elegant, fashion-forward silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where contrast and sharp finishing can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding systems—particularly for fashion, beauty, hospitality, and premium packaging—while remaining usable for short-to-medium editorial text when set with comfortable size and leading.
The tone is polished and dramatic, balancing classical bookish structure with a contemporary, high-fashion edge. Its sharp terminals and bright contrast lend a sense of sophistication and authority, making it feel premium and attention-grabbing without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice that feels premium and expressive, using flared stroke endings and crisp hairlines to add drama and refinement. It aims to perform as an editorial and branding workhorse that reads as classic at a glance but distinctly contemporary in detail.
Diagonal and curved letters show pronounced stroke modulation, and rounded forms (like O/C/e) exhibit thin, delicate hairlines that heighten sparkle at display sizes. Numerals follow the same sculpted contrast and flared finishing, maintaining a cohesive voice across editorial text and headings.
