A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress, pairing thick stems with extremely fine hairlines and crisp, unbracketed serifs. The proportions feel airy and slightly extended, with open counters and a tall lowercase that keeps text from looking dwarfed by the capitals. Curves are smooth and controlled, and joins stay clean, giving the design a sharp, polished rhythm. Numerals and punctuation follow the same contrast logic, with thin linking strokes and prominent main stems.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and large typographic moments where its hairline details can be appreciated. It works well for fashion, beauty, and luxury branding, as well as posters and invitations that benefit from a refined, high-contrast voice.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic, leaning toward luxury and runway/editorial aesthetics. Its razor-thin hairlines and sculpted forms convey refinement and prestige, while the wide, open shapes add a contemporary, high-end clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on high-contrast serif tradition, emphasizing elegance through vertical stress, sharp serifs, and extreme stroke modulation. It aims for striking display performance while keeping the lowercase legible through generous openness and a tall x-height.
At larger sizes the fine hairlines read as a key feature, producing sparkling detail and a delicate texture. In denser settings the contrast becomes the dominant personality trait, so spacing and size will strongly influence how crisp and stable the letterforms feel.
