A high-contrast serif with pronounced stroke modulation and a crisp, sculpted silhouette. Vertical strokes read firm and dark while connecting strokes and curves taper to hairlines, creating a lively rhythm across words. Serifs and terminals frequently flare or wedge outward rather than ending in blunt slabs, and many joins show a subtle calligraphic logic with sharp, pointed transitions. Proportions feel slightly varied from glyph to glyph, with rounded letters carrying generous bowls and tighter, more tapered counters in letters like e and a; numerals also mix bold verticals with fine, sweeping curves.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, packaging, and brand marks where its contrast and flared terminals can read as intentional detail. It can also work for short passages at comfortable sizes in editorial layouts, especially when ample line spacing preserves the fine hairlines.
The tone is polished and stylish, balancing classic sophistication with a contemporary, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp contrasts and flared endings give it a dramatic, curated feel—more boutique and editorial than utilitarian.
The font appears designed to deliver a refined, high-fashion serif voice with strong contrast and expressive flared terminals, aiming for striking word shapes and a premium, crafted impression in titles and branding.
The design rewards larger sizes where the hairlines and tapered joins remain clear; in dense settings, the darkest verticals and delicate thins can create a distinctly sparkling texture. The italic-like energy comes more from stroke shaping and stress than from slant, keeping the overall stance upright while still feeling fluid.
