A high-contrast serif with broad proportions and sharply tapered hairlines. The letterforms show crisp, finely cut serifs and strong vertical emphasis, with smooth transitions into rounded bowls and carefully sculpted joins. Curves are generous and polished, counters are fairly open for the style, and several lowercase forms feature teardrop/ball-like terminals that add a calligraphic finish. Numerals follow the same display-oriented contrast and include a mix of angular and rounded detailing for a varied, ornamental rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and editorial layouts, brand marks, and premium packaging where its contrast and detailing can be appreciated. It performs particularly well at display sizes for titles, pull quotes, and promotional graphics, and can work for short passages when set with comfortable tracking and leading.
The overall tone is elegant and image-conscious, projecting a classic editorial sophistication with a distinctly dramatic edge. Its bright hairlines and chiseled serifs read as premium and fashion-forward, with a slightly theatrical presence in larger settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice—pairing classic high-contrast construction with contemporary, sculptural finishing details for impactful typography in display-led design.
In text samples the thin strokes create a sparkling texture and pronounced light–dark rhythm, making spacing and line breaks feel bold and graphic. The wide set and prominent capitals encourage headline use, while the distinctive terminals in the lowercase add character that becomes more noticeable as size increases.
