This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with razor-fine hairlines and weighty main strokes, creating a crisp, high-definition texture. Serifs are sharply tapered and often wedge-like, with subtle flaring where stems terminate, giving terminals a carved, slightly calligraphic finish rather than blunt cuts. Curves are smooth and generous, counters are open, and round letters (O, Q, C) carry a polished, almost engraved sheen. Lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with elegant, compact bowls and tapered joins; the overall rhythm alternates bold verticals and delicate connecting strokes for a lively, sophisticated pattern.
Well suited to magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, and high-impact headlines where contrast and sharp serifs can shine. It also fits premium packaging and identity work, and can serve as a refined text companion in larger sizes for pull quotes or short editorial blocks.
The tone is luxurious and editorial, pairing elegance with a touch of theatrical contrast. It feels poised and modern-classic—suited to contexts where sharp refinement and visual drama are desirable without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, contemporary serif voice with a sculpted, flared finishing language and strong thick–thin drama. It prioritizes visual sophistication and headline presence while keeping the lowercase structured enough for controlled editorial use.
The numerals and caps appear especially display-forward, with thin horizontals and diagonals that contribute sparkle but may require sufficient size or print quality to preserve the finest strokes. The lowercase maintains readability while still emphasizing contrast, making it adaptable for short passages with careful sizing and spacing.
