A delicate, high-contrast slab serif with hairline curves and sharply defined, rectangular slab serifs. The letterforms are upright and tightly proportioned, with a crisp vertical rhythm and strong thick–thin modulation that becomes especially apparent in rounds like C, O, and Q. Serifs are flat and blocky, giving thin stems a firm footing, while terminals stay clean and squared rather than tapered. Counters are open and the overall texture is light and airy, with slightly irregular width behavior across glyphs that adds a subtle, crafted feel in running text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and brand wordmarks where high contrast and crisp slabs can be featured at comfortable sizes. It can work for short blocks of text in editorial settings, particularly when generous leading and clean reproduction preserve the fine strokes.
The font conveys an editorial, fashion-forward refinement—quietly formal but with a dramatic, high-contrast sparkle. Its combination of fragile hairlines and sturdy slab anchors creates a poised, slightly theatrical tone that feels suited to curated, premium contexts rather than everyday utilitarian copy.
The design appears intended to blend modern high-contrast elegance with the grounded structure of slab serifs, creating a distinctive display voice that remains typographically disciplined. It emphasizes sharp geometry, light color, and an upscale editorial presence for attention-getting titles and refined branding.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and hairline joins create a bright page color and a pronounced vertical cadence. Numerals and capitals share the same sharp serif vocabulary, keeping headings and mixed-case settings visually consistent, though the overall delicacy suggests it will look best when given adequate size and breathing room.
