A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weight concentrated in vertical stems, producing a crisp, polished rhythm. Serifs are fine and pointed with a slightly flared, calligraphic feel, and terminals often end in thin wedges or teardrop-like shapes. Proportions read on the broader side with generous sidebearings, while curves are smooth and tightly controlled, giving the overall texture a clean, upscale finish. The numerals and capitals share the same dramatic thick–thin logic, with small details (like spurs and beaks) rendered very finely.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short passages where contrast and fine detail can be appreciated, especially in magazines, lookbooks, and luxury-oriented branding. It can also work for posters and sophisticated packaging where a crisp, high-end serif voice is needed.
The tone is poised and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its sharp contrast and delicate finishing details convey sophistication and a fashion-forward, premium character rather than an informal or rugged voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, upscale reading of traditional serif forms by combining broad proportions with pronounced contrast and meticulously sharpened serifs. It aims for strong elegance and impact in display contexts while maintaining conventional letterform familiarity.
At larger sizes the hairline work and pointed serifs create striking sparkle and definition, while in denser settings the thin strokes can visually recede, emphasizing the bold vertical structure. The overall impression balances classic bookish manners with a more contemporary, high-glam refinement.
