A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, hairline connections, and sharp, tapered terminals. Serifs are small and crisp, with a mix of fine brackets and knife-like finishing that emphasizes vertical stress and a polished, engraved feel. Capitals are tall and stately with generous internal space, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and subtle calligraphic shaping in joins and terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast-heavy logic, with slender diagonals and delicate curves that read best at display sizes.
This face excels in headlines, subheads, and large-format editorial settings where its contrast and detailing can remain crisp. It’s well suited to luxury branding, beauty and fashion communications, premium packaging, and poster-style typography that benefits from a refined, high-impact serif.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, projecting sophistication and drama through its extreme contrast and fine detailing. It suggests a fashion-forward, high-end sensibility with a slightly theatrical edge, suited to attention-grabbing typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on classic high-contrast book and fashion serifs, prioritizing elegance, visual tension, and a signature counter treatment for distinctive brand voice. Its proportions and sharp finishing aim to deliver a striking display texture while retaining familiar serif conventions for readable title and short-text use.
Distinctive cut-in shapes appear in several counters (notably in O/Q and some lowercase forms), creating a recognizable signature detail. The rhythm alternates between sturdy vertical stems and extremely thin hairlines, so texture shifts noticeably with size and spacing, favoring careful typesetting and ample breathing room.
