A high-contrast serif with striking hairlines and broad, gently modulated main strokes. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered with subtle bracketing, and terminals often resolve into crisp wedges or teardrop-like joins that emphasize a sculpted, calligraphic edge. The overall stance is upright and stable, with generously proportioned capitals and compact internal counters that add a dense, inky texture in text. Curves are smooth and polished, while joins and cross-strokes stay delicate, creating a rhythmic alternation of thick and thin that reads as distinctly refined.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities where its contrast and crisp detailing can be seen clearly. It also works well for pull quotes, chapter openers, and premium packaging or beauty/fashion applications, especially when set with ample size and careful spacing.
The tone is elegant and theatrical, projecting a modern-luxe, editorial sensibility. Its glossy contrast and razor details suggest sophistication and confidence, with a slightly glamorous, fashion-forward attitude rather than a purely utilitarian book feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice: classic in structure but sharpened through extreme contrast, fine serifs, and sculpted terminals. It prioritizes visual impact and typographic elegance for display-led composition while remaining composed enough for short text passages.
In longer settings the very fine horizontals and hairlines create a shimmering texture, and the sharp apexes and tapered endings give words a pronounced, high-style silhouette. Numerals follow the same contrast and refined finishing, complementing display typography and titling.
