A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, crisp hairlines, and elegant, bracketed serifs. The design leans wide in its capitals and round letters, with smooth, vertical stress and clean, sculpted curves. Terminals frequently taper to sharp points, and several lowercase forms show refined calligraphic inflections (notably in the a, g, k, and y), creating a lively rhythm without becoming informal. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with delicate joins and fashion-style proportions that read best at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, magazine typography, and other editorial display contexts where its contrast and sharp hairlines can shine. It can also support premium branding and packaging, especially when paired with a quieter sans for body copy and UI. For longer text, it will perform more comfortably at larger sizes with sufficient leading to preserve the delicate thins.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, pairing a classic bookish foundation with a distinctly glamorous, fashion-forward edge. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details suggest sophistication and authority, with a hint of theatricality suited to premium branding and headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, contemporary take on a conventional text-serif model, emphasizing dramatic contrast and crisp finishing to elevate on-page presence. It balances familiar proportions with carefully placed flourishes to feel both authoritative and stylish in modern editorial layouts.
Spacing appears generous in the samples, helping the thin strokes stay clear and preventing the heavy stems from clumping. The lowercase maintains readable, conventional skeletons while introducing a few expressive details that add character in headlines and pull quotes.
