A high-contrast serif with sculpted, calligraphic stress and sharply tapered hairlines that meet bold main strokes with crisp, pointed joins. Serifs are fine and wedge-like, giving terminals a chiseled, blade-cut finish rather than blunt brackets. Proportions feel generous and airy with wide capitals and ample counters, while curves (C, O, S) show strong thick–thin modulation and clean, polished outlines. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure but with pronounced stroke contrast and elegant, high-contrast details in letters like a, e, g, and s; numerals follow the same dramatic contrast with stylized curves and narrow hairline connections.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and editorial typography, and brand applications where contrast and elegance are assets. It will shine in large sizes for titles, pull quotes, and display settings, and can work for short text passages when generous spacing and careful reproduction preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is upscale and editorial, projecting sophistication and drama through its razor-thin hairlines and bold verticals. It reads as poised and fashion-forward, with a refined, print-centric feel that suggests premium branding and carefully set typography.
The design appears intended to modernize classical serif conventions with fashion-led contrast and crisp, tapered finishing. Its combination of wide, stately capitals and razor hairlines suggests a display-forward serif meant to deliver a premium, attention-grabbing voice in contemporary layouts.
In the text sample, the weight distribution and hairlines create a strong rhythm in headings and short passages, with standout sparkle in large sizes. The sharp, tapered terminals and delicate joins make the design feel intentionally polished and stylized, favoring visual impact over purely utilitarian neutrality.
