A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and powerful vertical stems, creating a distinctly refined, display-forward texture. Serifs are thin and pointed with a crisp, chiseled feel, and many joins show subtle bracketing that smooths transitions into heavy strokes. The letterforms have generous proportions and open counters, with a poised, upright stance and a steady rhythm across capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction, with elegant curves and fine terminals that read as polished and deliberate.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine titles, fashion and beauty branding, and high-impact headlines where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or refined packaging copy when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is elegant and aspirational, combining runway-style sophistication with a classic bookish authority. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details lend a sense of precision and luxury, making text feel ceremonial and headline-ready rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, emphasizing crisp terminals, sculpted curves, and a confident vertical stress for premium, editorial applications.
In the sample text, the fine hairlines and pointed serifs create sparkling highlights in larger sizes, while the heavier verticals maintain strong structure. The shapes lean toward a fashion/editorial look, where the interplay of thick and thin strokes becomes a defining visual feature.
