A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flared stroke endings that read as sharp wedge serifs rather than flat slabs. Curves show strong stress, with thin hairlines and crisp joins that create a polished, chiseled silhouette. Proportions feel classical with a moderate x-height and relatively long ascenders/descenders; spacing is even but the rhythm is lively due to the extreme contrast and narrow hairline connections. Numerals echo the same contrast and flare, with compact, elegant forms suited to display use.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, and prominent typographic moments in magazines, fashion and beauty communications, and premium branding. It can work for short blocks of text at comfortable sizes, but its fine hairlines and strong contrast make it most confident in display and larger editorial settings.
The overall tone is upscale and editorial, combining elegance with a slightly dramatic, couture-like sharpness. It feels formal and composed, with a glossy, magazine-forward presence that signals sophistication and attention to detail.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, luxurious take on high-contrast serif letterforms, leveraging flared terminals and pronounced stress to create a distinctive, sculptural texture. It prioritizes elegance and visual impact over utilitarian neutrality, aiming for a refined editorial voice.
Large sizes emphasize the razor-thin hairlines and sculpted terminals, while smaller settings may demand careful sizing and background contrast to preserve the delicate details. The italic is not shown; the samples present a consistently upright, high-stress roman voice.
