A high-contrast serif with sharp, hairline finishing and strong thick–thin modulation throughout. The design mixes crisp, classical proportions with subtly calligraphic strokes: many joins taper into needle-like points, and several letters show softly flared, sweeping terminals that create a flowing baseline rhythm. Counters are relatively open, with a slightly condensed feel in some forms but overall generous sidebearings that keep text airy. The numerals and capitals carry display-like refinement, while the lowercase maintains a readable, traditional structure with pronounced contrast and delicate serifs.
Best suited to large sizes where its contrast and fine terminals can be appreciated—magazine covers, section openers, posters, and branding for premium goods or services. It can also work for short-form text such as pull quotes, packaging copy, and invitations when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, evoking contemporary editorial typography and upscale branding. Its dramatic contrast and refined detailing add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, with a hint of fashion-forward flair in the more sweeping terminals.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end serif voice that bridges classic text-serif structure with display-level elegance. The added swash-like terminal behavior suggests a goal of creating memorable headlines without departing from conventional serif readability.
Curved exit strokes on letters like E, L, N, U, and W introduce a distinctive wave-like movement that can become a notable stylistic signature in headings. At smaller sizes, the thinnest strokes and hairline serifs may require sufficient resolution and spacing to preserve clarity.
