A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty verticals, where many strokes end in subtle flares and wedge-like serifs rather than blunt slabs. The forms feel drawn with a broad, calligraphic logic: joints are crisp, curves are taut, and terminals often finish in thin, blade-like points. Proportions are classical with a measured x-height, and the overall rhythm alternates thick stems and delicate connecting strokes for a bright, sparkling texture in text. Numerals and capitals share the same contrast-driven construction, with open counters and clean, sculpted curves.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, cover lines, and brand marks where the contrast and flared endings can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages, pull quotes, and premium packaging copy when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The tone is polished and luxurious, balancing traditional bookish refinement with a contemporary, fashion-editorial sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and pointed details give it a poised, slightly theatrical presence suited to high-end branding and display-led typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classical serif voice, emphasizing contrast, sharp finishing strokes, and a crisp page presence. It prioritizes elegance and impact, aiming for memorable typography in editorial and brand-forward contexts.
In the sample text, the thin hairlines and sharp terminals create a lively shimmer at larger sizes, while the heavy verticals keep word shapes stable. The lowercase shows a distinctly calligraphic feel in letters like a, g, and y, and the capitals read as formal and stately with crisp, carved-looking edges.
