A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and emphatic vertical stems, producing a distinctly vertical, dressy rhythm. Serifs are fine and pointed, with minimal bracketing and crisp terminals that read as precise rather than soft. Curves show clear vertical stress in rounds (O, C), while joins and diagonals stay slender and controlled, giving the overall texture a clean, airy sparkle in both caps and lowercase. The lowercase forms are compact and neat, with delicate entry/exit strokes and small, sharp details that become especially noticeable in letters like a, g, and y.
Best suited to large-size settings such as headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand wordmarks where the fine hairlines can remain crisp. It also fits elegant collateral—invites, packaging, and premium product communication—especially when paired with ample whitespace and high-quality printing or high-resolution screens.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, evoking classic magazine typography and luxury branding. Its contrast and fine detailing feel poised and stylish, balancing seriousness with a touch of glamour.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: dramatic stroke modulation, vertical elegance, and precise finishing for sophisticated display typography that still performs in carefully set editorial text.
In running text, the thin connecting strokes and sharp serifs create a bright, shimmering color that rewards generous sizes and careful spacing. The numerals and punctuation share the same refined hairline behavior, keeping the typographic voice consistent across editorial and display settings.
