A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered hairlines and swelling main strokes that subtly flare as they meet the serifs. Letterforms feel sculpted and elegant, with crisp wedge-like terminals, pointed joins, and a slightly calligraphic modulation that’s most evident in curves and diagonals. Capitals read stately and expansive, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact apertures and refined, knife-thin cross strokes in letters like t and f. Numerals are equally stylized, pairing bold vertical presence with delicate connecting strokes for a polished, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and large-format editorial typography where the contrast and flared endings can carry visual authority. It also fits luxury branding, magazine mastheads, packaging, and event materials that need a polished, high-style presence. For longer passages, it works most comfortably in short blocks or pull quotes where the lively contrast can remain readable.
The tone is refined and theatrical, balancing classical sophistication with a fashion-editorial edge. Its sharp contrast and flared finishing give it a premium, curated feel—confident, formal, and attention-grabbing without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end interpretation of classic serif letterforms, using pronounced contrast and flared stroke endings to create a distinctive, couture-like voice for display typography.
In text settings, the strong thick–thin rhythm creates a lively sparkle, especially around round letters and diagonal forms. The design’s crisp terminals and narrow hairlines suggest it will be most striking when given enough size and breathing room, where the detailing can remain clear.
