A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines set against strong main strokes and crisp, tapering terminals. Serifs are small and sharply cut, with a flared behavior where stems widen into the stroke endings rather than forming heavy bracketed slabs. Curves are polished and taut, counters are relatively open, and the overall rhythm feels slightly expansive with generous letter widths and confident spacing. The design keeps a clean vertical axis while using delicate joinery and pointed details (notably in diagonals and the ‘x’/‘k’), producing a bright, glossy texture at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, magazine titles, and brand-led typography where contrast and refinement are the point. It works especially well for luxury, beauty, and cultural editorial applications, as well as posters and prominent pull quotes where the delicate hairlines can stay clear.
The tone is luxurious and editorial, projecting fashion-forward sophistication with a hint of theatrical contrast. It reads as poised and premium, balancing classic serif cues with a contemporary sharpness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice: strong vertical structure with dramatic contrast, precise detailing, and flared finishing that adds elegance without heaviness. It prioritizes visual impact and polish over neutrality, aiming for a premium, display-oriented presence.
In the text sample, the thin hairlines and fine serifs create a sparkling, refined surface that rewards larger sizes and strong print or high-resolution rendering. Numerals and round letters show smooth, controlled curves, while the crisp terminals add a slightly cutting, modern edge.
