A high-contrast serif with crisp, finely tapered serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give verticals a sculpted, chiseled presence. Curves are smooth and generous, with tight, hairline-like joins and pronounced thick–thin modulation across bowls and diagonals. Proportions feel refined and slightly narrow in the uppercase, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with a moderate x-height and clear, open counters. Numerals follow the same tension and contrast, reading as formal and display-oriented rather than utilitarian.
Well-suited to headlines, magazine display, pull quotes, and brand identities that need a premium, refined voice. It can also work for short blocks of text in print-forward layouts, especially when ample size and leading preserve the hairline details.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a dramatic, fashion-forward sharpness. Its pointed serifs and taut contrast evoke traditional book types and refined editorial typography, while the flared endings add a distinctive, contemporary edge.
The font appears designed to balance classical serif structure with a more stylized, flared finishing, aiming for a distinctive high-end look. The emphasis is on contrast, elegance, and sharp definition to create impact in display and editorial contexts.
The design’s strong contrast and delicate hairlines suggest best performance at larger sizes or in high-quality reproduction where fine details can hold. The texture in paragraph setting appears crisp and lively, with noticeable sparkle from the thin horizontals and tapered terminals.
