A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and weighty, sculpted main strokes that often flare as they meet the terminals. The letters show a pronounced vertical stress, sharp apexes, and crisp, wedge-like finishing details that create a polished, chiseled silhouette. Curves are smooth and taut, with tight joins and a slightly lively stroke modulation that gives the lowercase a subtly calligraphic rhythm. Proportions feel balanced and text-ready, while individual capitals and figures have a display-like sharpness and presence.
Best suited to magazine headlines, deck copy, and prominent editorial typography where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, beauty and fashion packaging, and posters that benefit from a refined, high-impact serif voice. For longer passages, it will perform best at comfortable text sizes and in print or high-resolution digital settings.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, pairing classic editorial sophistication with a slightly theatrical edge. Its crisp contrast and flared endings suggest couture, premium packaging, and upscale publishing rather than utilitarian or neutral branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice: classic proportions and vertical stress paired with dramatic contrast and flared, sculptural terminals. It aims to look premium and confident in display settings while remaining composed enough for editorial text use.
The numerals and capitals read particularly bold in silhouette due to the stark contrast, while the thinnest hairlines can visually recede at smaller sizes. The rhythm in running text remains steady, but the pronounced terminals and sharp joins make the design feel intentionally styled rather than purely bookish.
