A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty main strokes, creating a distinctly sculpted, display-forward texture. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with pointed terminals and occasional flared, calligraphic cuts that add sparkle at joins and stroke ends. Proportions read on the wider side with generous set-widths and confident capitals, while the lowercase maintains a conventional, readable structure. Curves and bowls feel polished and slightly faceted, and the overall rhythm alternates between bold vertical emphasis and delicate, razor-thin connectors.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial settings where its contrast and sharp details can be appreciated. It can also support premium brand identities and packaging where a refined, high-end voice is desired, especially when used at larger sizes with comfortable spacing.
The typeface conveys a poised, editorial tone—elegant and assertive rather than casual. Its dramatic contrast and precise detailing evoke fashion publishing, luxury branding, and classic headline typography, with a slightly theatrical edge in the sharp terminals and sweeping curves.
The design appears intended to deliver classic serif sophistication with heightened contrast and fashion-oriented drama. It balances familiar text-serif construction with sharper, more stylized terminals to create a polished, attention-getting voice for display and editorial use.
The numerals and a few lowercase forms show distinctive styling—some figures feature prominent hairline spurs and sharp internal cuts that increase visual personality. In paragraphs at larger sizes, the strong contrast produces a lively, sparkling texture, while the fine hairlines suggest better performance with ample size and high-quality reproduction.
