A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a bold light–dark rhythm across words. Serifs are crisp and finely pointed, often wedge-like, with a sculpted, engraved feel rather than blunt slabs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with tight joins and small, high-contrast counters that emphasize the vertical axis in letters like O and U. The uppercase reads stately and display-oriented, while the lowercase maintains a compact, polished texture with a clear two-storey a and a distinctive g featuring a prominent lower bowl.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and large-format posters where the fine hairlines can be preserved. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when set with sufficient size and air to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, combining refinement with a slightly edgy sharpness from the thin hairlines and pointed terminals. It evokes contemporary luxury and editorial styling, where contrast and crisp detail communicate confidence and sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast serif look with modern crispness, prioritizing striking silhouette and refined detail for contemporary editorial and brand-forward applications.
Spacing appears generous enough for headline work, letting the thin details stay visible, while the strongly modulated strokes create a vivid sparkle in longer lines. Numerals match the same contrast and sharp finishing, keeping a consistent, polished presence in mixed typography.
