A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and a distinctly calligraphic stress. Thick verticals drop into hairline-thin joins and cross-strokes, producing a crisp, glossy rhythm with pronounced modulation. Serifs are sharp and tapered rather than blocky, with wedge-like terminals and occasional asymmetric beaks that add bite to the outlines. Proportions feel classical but display-leaning: capitals are stately with fine hairlines, while lowercase shows compact counters and tightly controlled curves (notably in a, e, g, and s), maintaining a consistent, polished texture at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display settings where its high-contrast detailing can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding and packaging that benefit from a refined, boutique voice. For longer text, it will be most comfortable at generous sizes and with adequate spacing to preserve the fine hairlines and tight inner shapes.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical—confident, refined, and slightly fashion-forward. Its sharp hairlines and flared finishes evoke high-end editorial typography and luxury branding, with an intentional sense of contrast and spectacle rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended as a modern, editorial serif that blends classical proportions with flared, calligraphic finishing to deliver a premium, high-contrast look. Its shaping prioritizes elegance and visual impact, aiming for a crisp, fashion-oriented texture across both capitals and lowercase.
In text, the strong stroke modulation creates a lively light–dark pattern that can read as bold and punchy even without heavy stem weight. Hairline elements are prominent in diagonals and crossbars, giving characters like K, V, W, X, and y a crisp, cutting quality. Numerals follow the same display logic with pronounced curves and delicate hairline transitions.
