A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weight concentrated in verticals and diagonals, giving the letterforms a crisp, engraved feel. Serifs are small and subtly flared, with wedge-like terminals that widen into the stroke and create a calligraphic snap at joins and ends. Counters are relatively open and the rhythm is roomy, while curves show pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads cleanly at display sizes. The lowercase maintains a conventional structure with a moderate x-height and distinct, pointed terminals on letters like a, c, e, and s, reinforcing the sharp, polished texture across text.
Well-suited for magazine and newspaper-style headlines, fashion and beauty branding, book or album covers, and any setting where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry a premium message. It can also work for short pull quotes and display typography where its sharp terminals and flared details have room to show.
The overall tone is elegant and authoritative, with a dramatic contrast that feels editorial and fashion-forward. Its crisp terminals and sculpted curves project a sense of tradition and craft, while the wide stance adds confidence and presence. The result is poised and upscale rather than casual or neutral.
Designed to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice with flared, calligraphic terminals and strong thick–thin modulation. The intention appears to balance traditional serif proportions with a brighter, more dramatic display character for contemporary editorial and branding use.
The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with thin entry strokes and heavier main stems that keep them stylish in headlines. In the sample text, the texture remains bright and airy, but the extreme contrast suggests it will look best when given generous size and comfortable spacing.
