A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines, weighty verticals, and sharply defined wedge-like serifs that flare subtly from the stems. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with pointed apexes in forms like A and V and a clean, sculpted rhythm across capitals. Lowercase shows a traditional bookish construction with a two-storey a, compact bowls, and crisp entry/exit strokes; spacing reads balanced, with an even text color despite the dramatic stroke modulation. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, pairing sturdy main strokes with delicate hairline links and terminals.
Best suited to display use such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, book covers, posters, and high-impact pull quotes where the contrast and detailing can shine. It can also work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes where a polished, classic tone is desired.
The overall tone is refined and elevated, with a couture/editorial feel that reads confident and formal. Its sharp hairlines and pronounced contrast add a sense of drama, while the classical proportions keep it grounded and authoritative rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classic high-contrast serif construction, emphasizing crisp refinement and a sculptural, flared finishing. It prioritizes elegance and visual impact, aiming for a premium voice in editorial and brand-led typography.
The flared serif treatment and tapered connections give the outlines a carved, calligraphic quality, helping large sizes look crisp and luxurious. In paragraph-style setting, the strong vertical emphasis creates a stately rhythm and a distinctly high-end voice.
