A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation, giving the letterforms a sharp, sculpted profile. Serifs are fine and delicately bracketed, with several strokes subtly widening into flared, blade-like endings rather than terminating bluntly. The proportions feel balanced and bookish: capitals are stately with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase shows a moderate x-height with narrow joins and clean, tapered stems. Numerals and punctuation-like forms in the sample maintain the same bright, polished stroke rhythm, producing a distinctly engraved, fashion-forward texture at display sizes.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities that benefit from a polished, high-end voice. It will also work well for packaging, lookbooks, and invitations where crisp contrast and refined detail are meant to be seen at larger sizes.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, leaning toward luxury and editorial refinement. The sharp contrast and refined finishing add a touch of drama, evoking formal print traditions while still reading as contemporary and intentional in its crispness.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, luxury-leaning serif voice with classic proportions and a distinctive flare at stroke endings. Its controlled contrast and finely finished serifs suggest an intention to provide strong presence in display and editorial contexts while keeping text shapes disciplined and readable.
Spacing in the sample text reads open and orderly, and the strong vertical stress creates a consistent, rhythmic line. Several terminals appear sharpened and slightly flared, which adds visual sparkle in larger settings and reinforces the font’s sculptural character.
