A high-contrast text and display serif with crisp, knife-like hairlines and substantial vertical stems that often open into subtly flared stroke endings. The serifs read as sharp and finely bracketed, with pointed, tapering terminals that give the outlines a carved, calligraphic edge. Proportions feel classical and slightly condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable x-height and a lively rhythm. Curves are clean and taut, with rounded bowls in letters like o and p contrasted by angled joins and tapered entry strokes; numerals follow the same thin–thick logic with elegant, narrow forms.
Well-suited to magazine and editorial typography, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and striking headlines. It can also serve for book covers and pull quotes where its high-contrast rhythm and crisp serifs can read as intentional and luxurious, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, projecting a couture/editorial sophistication with a touch of drama. Its sharp contrast and refined terminals suggest luxury, tradition, and careful craft rather than casual or utilitarian use.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical serif model with dramatic contrast and sculpted, flared stroke endings, balancing traditional proportions with a sharper, more contemporary finish for high-end display and editorial contexts.
In text settings the thin hairlines and pointed details become a defining texture, creating a bright, sparkling page color with pronounced vertical stress. The design rewards generous sizing and comfortable spacing, where the flared stroke endings and delicate connections remain clear and intentional.
