A high-contrast serif with compact proportions and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Strokes move from hairline-thin to weighty verticals, with flared, tapered terminals that feel cut rather than bracketed, giving the serifs a sharpened, sculpted look. The uppercase is tall and narrow with crisp apexes and pointed diagonals; curves are tightly drawn and maintain strong contrast through bowls and shoulders. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with concise ascenders/descenders, and the overall spacing reads on the tight side, producing a clean, economical texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display and editorial settings such as magazine headlines, book covers, cultural posters, and premium branding where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry personality. It can also work for short text passages at comfortable sizes and generous leading, where its tight counters and hairlines remain clear.
The font conveys an editorial, fashion-forward polish—confident and controlled rather than ornate. Its sharp contrast and flared finishing details suggest luxury and seriousness, with a contemporary edge that keeps it from feeling purely traditional.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif authority with sharper, flared finishing details for a more contemporary, high-fashion tone. Its narrow build and disciplined vertical stress prioritize impactful headlines and a dense, upscale typographic color.
In running text the strong thick-thin modulation and pointed terminal shapes create a lively sparkle, especially in letters with diagonal strokes and narrow counters. Numerals follow the same contrast and vertical emphasis, pairing well with display sizing where the fine hairlines can be appreciated.
