A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals that often flare as strokes approach their ends. Serifs are fine and pointed with elegant bracketing, creating a crisp, sculpted silhouette. Round letters show tensioned ovals and delicate hairline joins, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) finish in needle-like tips. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with compact counters and lively stroke transitions; numerals match the same razor-thin horizontals and curving, calligraphic stress.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial settings where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding and packaging—especially for beauty, fashion, and hospitality—where a refined, high-impact serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, combining classic bookish refinement with a contemporary, fashion-forward edge. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details read as premium and intentional, lending a sense of authority and sophistication.
This design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif look with flared, tapered finishing for maximum elegance and visual drama. The goal seems to be strong display presence while retaining traditional serif cues and a controlled, upright rhythm.
At text sizes the hairlines and tight joins become a defining feature, giving paragraphs a bright, high-fashion color and a slightly sparkling texture. The widest caps and the strong contrast make it most convincing when given generous spacing and clean reproduction.
