A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines set against weighty verticals and broad, elegant bowls. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, often resolving into pointed, flared terminals that give corners a crisp, chiseled finish. The letterforms feel open and generously spaced, with a steady upright stance and smooth, calligraphic modulation through curves. In text, the strong thick–thin rhythm creates a bright page color with pronounced vertical emphasis and refined detail at joins and terminals.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and short passages where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, beauty and fashion communications, premium packaging, and high-impact editorial layouts, especially when set at medium to large sizes with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, combining classical bookish structure with a modern, fashion-forward sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and knife-edge details suggest luxury and ceremony, making it feel confident, curated, and premium rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif—optimized for striking display typography while remaining structurally familiar for editorial use. Its sharp terminals and elegant modulation aim to project sophistication and visual drama without resorting to novelty forms.
The figures appear lining with similarly dramatic contrast, and the numerals and capitals carry enough mass to read as display-ready. Some terminals and diagonals end in distinctly pointed wedges, adding a subtle bespoke flavor without departing from conventional serif construction.
