This serif presents sculpted letterforms with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and hairline joins, producing a crisp, elegant texture. Serifs are finely tapered and often flare subtly from the stems, with sharp, triangular terminals and clean apexes on letters like V and W. Curves are taut and controlled, with narrow joins and thin cross-strokes that emphasize a polished, high-contrast rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel expansive and stately, while the lowercase maintains a classic bookish structure with lively details in the ear, beaks, and entry/exit strokes.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and large-format posters where its hairlines and flared details can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or section openers when set with comfortable spacing and sufficient size.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical, pairing classic editorial authority with a modern, fashion-oriented edge. Its sharp hairlines and confident thick–thin transitions convey luxury, precision, and a sense of curated refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on high-contrast serif tradition—combining refined, calligraphic sharpness with subtly flared endings to produce strong visual drama and upscale presence in display settings.
In text, the thin horizontals and hairline connections create a bright, sparkling page color at display sizes, while the heavier verticals keep words anchored and legible. Numerals follow the same sculptural contrast and crisp terminals, giving figures a formal, engraved feel.
