A refined serif with a distinctly high-contrast, sculpted construction. Vertical strokes read firm and dark while hairlines taper to needle-thin connections, and many strokes broaden subtly into flared, wedge-like endings rather than blunt cuts. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with crisp joins and a smooth, calligraphic modulation that gives the forms a carved, glossy look. Proportions feel compact and narrow overall, with a steady, upright rhythm; the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and the italics are not present in the sample.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and large-format posters where contrast and detail can shine. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when set with sufficient size and breathing room.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, projecting poise and drama through extreme contrast and razor-thin detailing. It feels fashion-forward and formal, with a quiet classical undercurrent that reads as premium and curated rather than utilitarian.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a premium, contemporary-didone flavor with flared, tapered finishing—prioritizing elegance, impact, and a polished editorial voice over neutral text rendering.
The design emphasizes clean verticality and tight spacing potential, while the thinnest strokes and fine serifs suggest it will reward generous sizes and careful reproduction. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with sharply tapered diagonals and crisp terminals that keep the set cohesive in display contexts.
