A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty verticals, producing a crisp, polished texture. Stroke endings frequently widen into subtle flares, and the serifs feel more like carved terminals than bracketed slabs. Curves are generous and smooth, with pointed joins and occasional beak-like details that give letters a sculptural, chiseled quality. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the set, creating a lively rhythm in all-caps and a slightly more organic color in lowercase.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, brand wordmarks, invitations, and poster typography. It excels when given room to breathe and printed or rendered at sizes where the hairlines and flared terminals can remain clear.
The overall tone is upscale and editorial, combining elegance with a bit of theatrical sharpness. It evokes fashion and magazine typography—confident, curated, and visually dramatic—rather than quiet, utilitarian text setting.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward serif voice built on strong vertical emphasis and dramatic contrast, with flared stroke endings adding a distinctive, sculpted signature. The variable character widths and expressive terminals suggest a focus on striking typography and memorable branding impact.
In the sample text, the extreme contrast and fine hairlines become a prominent stylistic feature, especially in larger sizes where the flared terminals and sharp cut-ins read clearly. Numerals match the same tension between thin and thick strokes, with a graceful, display-oriented stance.
