A sculpted serif with pronounced stroke contrast and flared, wedge-like terminals that give stems a subtly swelling, chiseled feel. Serifs are sharp and tapering rather than slabby, with crisp joins and occasional bracket-like transitions that keep the rhythm fluid. Bowls and curves are generous and smooth, while diagonals and cross strokes stay lean, creating a lively texture that alternates between thick verticals and hairline connections. Overall proportions read slightly expansive with open counters, and the letterforms maintain an upright, composed stance with an editorial polish.
It suits editorial headlines, magazine covers, and brand identities that need elegance with presence. The high-contrast texture and sharp finishing also work well for packaging, invitations, and poster typography where a refined, premium impression is desired.
The tone is poised and luxurious, combining classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward edge. Its dramatic contrast and sculpted endings lend a sense of ceremony and sophistication, making text feel curated and intentional rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-fashion, editorial serif voice by combining dramatic contrast with flared, tapered terminals and clean, classic proportions. It aims for impact at display sizes while keeping enough structure and openness to remain composed in short text settings.
In continuous text, the strong contrast produces a distinctive sparkle, with hairlines and tapered serifs forming a crisp lattice around darker verticals. Numerals and capitals share the same high-end, display-oriented refinement, with curves that feel carefully carved and terminals that finish decisively.
