A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and bold, swelling main strokes that often flare into tapered, wedge-like endings. Serifs are sharp and finely cut, with a distinctly sculpted, calligraphic modulation that gives letters a crisp, engraved feel. Bowls and counters are clean and relatively open, while joins and diagonals stay taut and controlled, creating a lively rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same chiseled contrast and pointed finishing, reading as elegant display figures rather than utilitarian text ones.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster typography where the sharp contrast can be shown at comfortable sizes. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling in editorial layouts, especially with generous spacing and high-quality rendering.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, balancing elegance with a slightly edgy sharpness. It suggests couture editorial typography—confident, glamorous, and intentionally attention-grabbing—while still feeling composed and classical at its core.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a high-contrast serif—combining classic proportions with flared, chiseled stroke endings to maximize drama and sophistication in display typography.
In the sample text, the extreme contrast and delicate hairlines create strong sparkle at larger sizes, with noticeable stroke shimmer where thin horizontals and fine serifs meet heavier stems. The design’s flared endings and incisive terminals add personality to round letters and diagonals, making short words and headlines feel particularly crisp and stylized.
