A refined serif with extremely thin hairlines paired to fuller verticals and subtly flared stroke endings that feel more sculpted than bracketed. The letterforms show a calligraphic logic—curves taper into needle-like terminals, joins stay crisp, and stress reads as mostly vertical, giving the face a poised, high-end rhythm. Proportions are slightly condensed in places, with tall caps and clean, open counters; the overall texture is airy with sharp sparkle from the fine details.
Best suited to headlines, magazine settings, and brand expressions where elegance and contrast are assets. It will shine in fashion, beauty, luxury packaging, and poster work, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines and flared terminals can be appreciated.
The tone is luxurious and fashion-forward, with a cultured, editorial polish. Its dramatic contrast and delicate terminals add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, leaning more boutique and art-directed than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, art-directed take on high-contrast serif tradition, emphasizing refined flare, razor-thin detailing, and expressive punctuation for premium display typography.
Distinctive details—such as the sinuous ampersand and the high-contrast numerals—reinforce a display-first personality. In text, it maintains a graceful line but the finest strokes and tight apertures make it feel best when given room, good reproduction, and generous spacing.
