A sharply drawn serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. Vertical stems are authoritative while curves taper into fine points, creating a sculpted rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Serifs read as subtly flared rather than bracketed slabs, and many joins and stroke endings resolve into delicate, blade-like tips. Proportions feel elegant and slightly narrow in places, with open counters and a controlled, consistent axis that keeps the texture clean at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand wordmarks where the high contrast and sharp finishing can read clearly. It also fits luxury packaging and editorial layouts that benefit from a crisp, elegant typographic voice rather than dense body copy.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, with a couture-like polish and a sense of classic formality. The extreme finesse of the hairlines adds a luxurious, high-end feel, while the sharp terminals lend a modern, assertive edge.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on high-contrast serif tradition, emphasizing precision, elegance, and a distinctive flare at stroke endings. Its detailing prioritizes visual drama and refinement in prominent, image-led typography.
The design leans toward display use: fine hairlines and pointed details are visually striking at larger sizes, and the numerals share the same refined contrast and tapering treatment. In text settings the letterforms produce a bright, high-contrast page color with pronounced vertical emphasis.
