A striking serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and a crisp, vertically stressed structure. Stems and main curves are dense and weighty, while connecting strokes and serifs drop to fine hairlines, creating sharp, high-drama silhouettes. Serifs are small and incisive, often reading as pointed wedges, with occasional rounded (ball-like) terminals in the lowercase. Curves are smooth and taut, counters tend to be compact, and the overall rhythm is energetic with noticeable width variation across letters and figures.
Best suited to large-scale settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, poster typography, and premium packaging where its hairlines and pointed serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, especially with generous tracking and leading.
The font conveys a polished, couture-minded tone—confident, glamorous, and slightly theatrical. Its hard contrasts and sharp detailing feel editorial and display-first, evoking modern luxury and high-impact headlines.
The design appears intended as a modern display serif that maximizes contrast and precision to deliver instant visual impact. Its tight counters, sharp serifs, and sculpted terminals prioritize elegance and drama over neutrality, making it a strong choice when the typography is meant to be the focal point.
At text sizes the delicate hairlines and tight internal spaces can visually fill in, while at larger sizes the refined terminals and crisp transitions become a defining feature. Numerals match the display character with bold bodies and slender joining strokes, supporting strong typographic emphasis in dates and pricing.
