A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines set against fuller, tapering strokes and pronounced flared terminals. The letterforms are upright and open, with generous width and a steady, formal rhythm. Serifs are sharp and often wedge-like, with tapered joins that feel drawn rather than mechanically bracketed; curves resolve into fine points, especially in C, G, S, and the lowercase. The lowercase shows a moderately sized x-height relative to tall ascenders, with delicate, bright counters and clean, controlled stroke modulation. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing thin connecting strokes with heavier entry/exit strokes and pointed finishing details.
Best suited to display use such as headlines, magazine typography, and brand-forward applications where contrast and refinement are desired. It will perform especially well in larger sizes for covers, pull quotes, and luxury packaging, where the fine hairlines and flared details can be appreciated.
The font projects a polished, editorial sophistication with a distinctly dramatic edge. Its crisp hairlines and sculpted flare cues evoke luxury print, fashion mastheads, and high-end packaging, while the upright stance keeps the tone formal and composed.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with calligraphic flare, emphasizing elegance and drama over neutrality. Its width and crisp tapering suggest a focus on striking, upscale display typography rather than utilitarian text settings.
The design leans on strong stroke contrast and tapered endings, so texture varies noticeably between straight strokes and curves. In text settings it creates a luminous, high-fashion color with sparkling highlights from the thin horizontals and terminals, especially evident in the round letters and the delicate joins in the lowercase.
