A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flared stroke endings that read as chiseled rather than bracketed slabs. The letterforms feel tall and refined, with crisp apexes, narrow joins, and hairline horizontals that create a bright, shimmering rhythm in text. Curves are smooth and controlled, while terminals often finish in pointed or gently swept wedges, giving counters a sculpted, slightly calligraphic tension. Numerals and capitals carry a display-like presence, with bold vertical emphasis and delicate hairline details that need space to breathe.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other prominent typographic moments where contrast and detail are legible. It works especially well for editorial layouts, magazine-style typography, cultural posters, and refined brand identities that want a classic yet dramatic serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, projecting sophistication and a sense of luxury. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing details add drama and formality, evoking fashion mastheads and classic print typography rather than utilitarian UI text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-contrast serif look with flared, sculptural terminals—balancing classical proportions with a sharper, more fashion-forward finish. It prioritizes visual impact and refined texture over neutral, all-purpose text rendering.
In continuous text the font produces strong vertical rhythm and striking light/dark patterning; the thinnest strokes can visually recede at smaller sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds. The design rewards generous sizing and comfortable line spacing, where its hairlines and flared endings remain crisp and intentional.
