A high-contrast serif with elegant, tapered stems that subtly flare into stroke endings and sharp, knife-like serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp joins that give the letterforms a sculpted, print-like finish. Proportions lean toward classic, slightly condensed capitals with generous counters, while the lowercase maintains a readable, moderate x-height and a rhythmic mix of narrow and wider forms. Numerals and punctuation follow the same dramatic contrast and tapered detailing, creating a consistent, polished texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, and editorial typography where its contrast and crisp serifs can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging, especially when used at display sizes with ample spacing. For longer passages, it will read most comfortably when set large enough to preserve the fine hairlines and sharp terminals.
The overall tone is poised and premium, balancing classical bookish authority with a modern editorial sharpness. Its contrast and refined terminals evoke luxury branding and fashion publishing, while the disciplined shapes keep it composed rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on classical serif letterforms, emphasizing dramatic contrast, tapered strokes, and precise finishing. It aims to communicate sophistication and authority while remaining versatile for modern editorial layouts.
In larger sizes the hairlines and pointed details become a key part of the personality, producing a sparkling, high-end texture. The design’s tapered strokes and flared endings create a subtle calligraphic feel without becoming cursive or italic.
