A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and distinctly flared stroke endings that give stems a subtly chiseled, calligraphic finish. Serifs are fine and sharp, with tapered joins and crisp terminals that create a polished, dressy rhythm. Uppercase forms feel stately and vertical, with wide curves and narrow hairlines, while the lowercase maintains clear, open counters and a slightly varied, lively texture across letters. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, pairing sturdy main strokes with hairline details for a refined, display-leaning presence.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and large-size editorial typography where contrast and detail can shine. It also fits branding systems that want a premium, classic voice—particularly for beauty, luxury goods, and cultural institutions—along with posters and title treatments.
The overall tone is sophisticated and luxe, suggesting fashion, publishing, and cultural prestige. Its razor-thin hairlines and sculpted flares read as curated and high-end, lending text a sense of ceremony and editorial authority rather than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with a more expressive, flared, calligraphy-influenced stroke finish, creating a contemporary luxury feel while retaining traditional typographic structure. It prioritizes dramatic contrast and crisp detailing to deliver impact and sophistication at display sizes.
In continuous text, the strong modulation creates a sparkling texture, with hairlines that visually recede and heavy strokes that anchor the line. The shapes favor elegance over robustness, so the design’s personality is most apparent where fine detail and contrast can be appreciated.
