A sharply contrasted serif with towering, razor-thin hairlines set against sturdy vertical stems and a distinctly vertical stress. Serifs are fine and precise with minimal bracketing, giving terminals a crisp, knife-edged finish. Proportions feel classic and measured, with generous counters and a calm, upright stance; curves are smooth and taut, and joins stay clean even where strokes become extremely thin. The lowercase keeps a balanced, readable rhythm with a moderate x-height, while the caps present a more dramatic, high-fashion silhouette.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, and refined packaging or invitations. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads where its high-contrast details can remain clear and intentional.
The overall tone is poised and glamorous, projecting a polished, premium feel associated with luxury publishing. Its delicate hairlines and refined detailing create a sense of sophistication and ceremony rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to deliver classic, high-end elegance through extreme stroke modulation, vertical stress, and finely cut serifs. It prioritizes visual sophistication and typographic sparkle for prominent settings.
In the sample text, the thinnest strokes become a defining visual feature, adding sparkle and finesse at display sizes while also making the type feel sensitive to reproduction conditions. Numerals and capitals carry the same formal contrast and crispness, supporting an elevated, editorial typographic color.
