A high-contrast serif with a distinctly calligraphic rhythm: thick verticals pair with hairline-thin joins and sharp, tapered entry/exit strokes. Stems frequently broaden into flared, wedge-like endings rather than blunt terminals, giving the letterforms a sculpted, chiseled feel. Serifs are crisp and often triangular, with pronounced bracketing and smooth curvature in bowls and shoulders. Proportions feel classical, with compact lowercase forms, relatively small counters in letters like a/e, and strong, stable capitals; overall spacing reads slightly tight and display-oriented in the sample text.
Best suited to display sizes where the extreme contrast and fine hairlines can reproduce cleanly—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, invitations, premium packaging, and poster typography. It can also work for short pull quotes or section titles, but the dense, high-contrast texture suggests avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution contexts.
The font conveys a polished, luxurious tone associated with editorial design and high-end branding. Its dramatic contrast and razor-thin hairlines feel formal and stylish, while the flared endings add a subtle historic, inscriptional character. The overall impression is confident and refined rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice with classical roots—combining traditional proportions with striking contrast and flared, tapering terminals for impact. It prioritizes elegance and dramatic typographic color in prominent settings rather than neutral, extended reading.
Distinctive details include a single-storey lowercase a, a lively italic-less energy created through tapered strokes, and numerals with strong thick–thin interplay (notably the 4 with a long, delicate diagonal). The forms maintain consistent contrast and terminal treatment across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive, headline-friendly texture.
