A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and sharply tapered hairlines. The letterforms show a crisp, chiseled stroke modulation with narrow-ish proportions and a vertical, controlled stance. Serifs and terminals feel wedge-like and slightly calligraphic, with pointed joins and clean, decisive curves; bowls are smooth and compact, while diagonals (V, W, X) read taut and elegant. Lowercase maintains a balanced, readable rhythm, with a delicate crossbar on t and a compact, serifed structure across stems and shoulders; numerals follow the same dramatic thick–thin logic, with distinctive, stylized curves in figures like 2, 3, and 9.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, lookbooks, and brand identities where contrast and elegance are assets. It will also work well for short-form print and digital display—posters, packaging, invitations, and pull quotes—especially when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is elegant and fashion-forward, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its sharp contrast and flared endings add drama and sophistication, suggesting a premium, curated voice rather than a utilitarian one. The look lands between classical bookish refinement and contemporary luxury branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice by combining crisp, high-contrast construction with flared, sculptural terminals. It prioritizes striking silhouettes and refined detail for display and editorial settings while keeping the underlying proportions and spacing disciplined enough for short passages.
At text sizes the very thin hairlines and tight apertures can read delicate, so it visually favors generous size, spacing, or higher-resolution reproduction. The silhouette of capitals is particularly commanding, making uppercase settings feel formal and display-oriented even when used sparingly.
