This serif shows a strongly calligraphic, high-contrast build with razor-thin hairlines and dominant verticals that expand into subtly flared terminals. Serifs are sharp and bracketless in feel, with tapered joins and pointed stroke endings that give many letters a cut, blade-like finish. Uppercase forms are tall and poised with generous inner counters, while the lowercase maintains a measured, bookish rhythm; round letters are vertically stressed and the overall texture alternates between bold stems and delicate connecting strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with elegant curves and thin spurs that keep them visually consistent with the text face.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, lookbooks, branding systems, premium packaging, and posters where the contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable leading and not too small.
The tone is polished and high-end, with a fashion/editorial sensibility and a dramatic sparkle created by the extreme contrast. It reads as refined and cultured, lending a sense of ceremony and sophistication to headlines and short passages.
The letterforms appear designed to evoke modern luxury and editorial elegance by combining extreme contrast with finely tapered, flared terminals and a crisp, sculptural silhouette.
The design relies on crisp hairlines and pointed details, so it benefits from adequate size and clean reproduction; the thins create a shimmering cadence in longer lines. The flared stroke endings add a subtle sculpted quality that differentiates it from purely slabbed or blunt-ended modern serifs.
