This typeface is a high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and confident, darker verticals that create a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Serifs are small and sharp with a subtly flared, tapered finish, giving stroke endings a sculpted, chiseled feel rather than blunt terminals. Curves are smooth and controlled, with tight apertures and elegant joins that keep the texture crisp even at larger sizes. Proportions lean toward display: capitals feel stately and relatively wide, while lowercase forms are compact with a modest x-height and distinct, stylized details in letters like a, g, and y.
Best suited for headlines, covers, and large typographic moments where the sharp contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefits from a sophisticated, fashion-forward voice, and works well for pull quotes and titling in editorial layouts.
The overall tone is polished and aspirational, with a runway/editorial energy that reads as premium and intentional. Its dramatic contrast and crisp finishing convey elegance and authority, while the slightly flared terminals add a crafted, couture-like character.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif look with pronounced contrast and carefully tapered terminals, balancing classic letterform structure with a more stylized, contemporary finish. It prioritizes elegance, impact, and typographic sparkle in display-oriented applications.
In paragraph settings the contrast produces a lively sparkle, especially around thin horizontals and delicate connections, which can become visually prominent at small sizes. Numerals follow the same refined construction, with open, elegant forms that match the uppercase presence and the font’s high-contrast cadence.
