A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and strong, swelling main strokes that taper into sharp, flared terminals. Serifs are delicate and blade-like, with pointed joins and clean, chiseled edges that create a bright, airy texture in text. Counters are generous and largely round, while curves show subtle calligraphic modulation; diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) are steep and incisive. The lowercase features a single-storey a and g, a compact, minimal-shouldered r, and a fine, straight t with a narrow crossbar, all contributing to a sleek, contemporary rhythm.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and flared terminals can read clearly—editorial headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury brand identities, and statement packaging. It can work for short, larger-size text blocks when ample spacing and print-like rendering preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is elegant and high-fashion, balancing classical serif cues with a sharper, more graphic modernity. Its extreme contrast and flared endings add a sense of drama and poise, suggesting premium editorial styling and refined branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial serif voice with calligraphic flare—pairing sharp, tapered details and sculpted stroke modulation to produce a refined, attention-grabbing texture in large sizes.
In the sample text, the light hairlines and pointed terminals become prominent visual accents, while the heavier verticals provide structure and a distinctive pulse. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven model, with crisp, stylish shapes suited to display settings.
