This serif presents a crisp, high-contrast structure with hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout. Stems subtly flare into the terminals, giving many letters a tapered, sculpted finish rather than blunt slab endings. Uppercase forms are stately and open, with sharp apexes in A/V/W and smooth, rounded bowls in C/O that maintain a refined rhythm. The lowercase keeps a traditional, bookish skeleton with compact joins and delicate head serifs, while the numerals echo the same contrast and taper, producing a cohesive text-and-display texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand applications where contrast and refinement are advantages. It performs especially well in large sizes for titles, pull quotes, and packaging marks that benefit from a crisp, high-end serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, reading as luxurious and editorial rather than utilitarian. Its sharp hairlines and flared endings bring a sense of couture sophistication and classical poise, with a slightly theatrical, headline-forward presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical high-contrast serif writing, pairing elegant proportions with flared, tapered terminals for a distinctive signature. It prioritizes visual drama and refinement for display-led typography while maintaining a familiar text serif skeleton.
In the text sample, the fine hairlines and tight internal details become more prominent, creating a lively sparkle at larger sizes and a distinctly vertical, high-fashion cadence. Curves and serifs remain consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a deliberate, carefully balanced design.
