A high-contrast serif with broad proportions and a distinctly sculpted silhouette. Thick verticals anchor the forms while hairline horizontals and needle-fine serifs create sharp, bright transitions, giving many letters a cut-in, chiseled look at joins. Curves are smooth and tensioned, with teardrop-like terminals and crisp, pointed serifs that stay consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Spacing and rhythm feel open and stately, with prominent capitals and a slightly more compact, text-ready lowercase.
Well suited to headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and short editorial passages where high contrast can shine. It also fits luxury branding, beauty and fashion packaging, and upscale invitations or event materials where a refined, statement serif is desired.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, projecting an editorial, fashion-forward character with a dramatic, high-end presence. Its sharp contrast and refined details read as confident and formal, with a hint of theatrical flair suited to sophisticated branding.
The design appears intended to evoke classic high-contrast book-and-fashion serif traditions while emphasizing a modern, sculptural crispness. It prioritizes elegance and impact through pronounced contrast, sharp serifs, and wide, confident proportions.
The numerals and capitals carry strong headline energy, while the lowercase retains clear counters and sturdy stems that help longer lines remain readable at larger text sizes. Fine details—especially hairlines and small joins—are visually striking and will reward clean rendering and generous size, particularly in print-like contexts.
