A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and bold, tapering main strokes that swell and finish in subtly flared terminals. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like, with crisp entry/exit strokes that give many letters a carved, calligraphic feel. The uppercase shows classical proportions with a steady vertical stress, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and introduces lively, slightly variable widths across counters and bowls. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, and joins are clean, producing a polished rhythm that stays consistent from display capitals to running text.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities where a refined, high-end impression is desired. It also works for packaging and invitation-style applications that benefit from sharp detail and elegant contrast, particularly at display sizes or in high-quality print.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, balancing traditional bookish authority with fashion-forward drama. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted terminals suggest sophistication and a curated, premium sensibility rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical high-contrast serif typography, emphasizing sculpted stroke transitions and flared finishes for a distinctive, premium voice. It prioritizes visual drama and sophistication, aiming to stand out in titles and brand-led settings while remaining composed in short text passages.
Distinctive details include slender cross-strokes (notably in forms like E/F/T), pronounced tapers in diagonals, and numerals that mirror the same high-contrast construction—especially the hairline-heavy 4 and the gracefully weighted 8/9. In paragraphs, the strong thick–thin modulation creates sparkle at larger sizes, while the fine hairlines demand adequate size and reproduction quality to avoid breakup.
