A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, flaring stroke endings that often read as wedge-like serifs. Curves are smooth and taut, while joins and terminals resolve into crisp points, creating a bright, chiseled edge in both caps and lowercase. Proportions feel classical and vertical, with a moderate x-height, strong hairlines, and distinctive, narrow-looking internal counters that heighten the contrasty rhythm in text.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, title pages, and brand marks where its high contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages in high-quality print or large sizes on screen, especially where a luxurious, polished tone is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its razor hairlines and flared terminals give it a refined, premium voice that feels formal, fashion-forward, and a bit theatrical when set large.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classical serif, emphasizing sharp hairlines, sculpted modulation, and flared terminals for maximum elegance and visual impact in display settings.
In the sample text, the contrast and tapered terminals create a lively sparkle and strong word shapes, while the thinnest strokes demand comfortable sizing and clear reproduction. Numerals follow the same contrast-forward logic, reading crisp and stylized alongside the uppercase.
