A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, vertical stress, and very fine hairline serifs. The letterforms feel sculpted and crisp, with narrow joins, sharp tapered terminals, and occasional ball terminals in the lowercase. Proportions in the capitals are elegant and slightly narrow, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and open counters, giving a lively rhythm when set in text. Numerals follow the same display-driven contrast, with delicate curves and thin connecting strokes that emphasize a refined, razor-edged texture.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, titles, and refined brand marks where its contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short blocks of text at comfortable sizes with good reproduction, especially in editorial layouts and premium packaging.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, projecting an editorial, runway-ready sensibility. Its sharp contrast and poised spacing read as premium and cultivated, with a sense of ceremony that suits elevated branding and sophisticated headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward take on a classic high-contrast serif: sharp, glamorous, and image-led. It prioritizes elegance and visual drama, aiming for a distinctive, boutique feel in prominent typographic roles.
In paragraph-like settings the thin hairlines and steep contrast create a shimmering texture, especially around diagonals and tight curves. The design’s personality comes through in the crisp apexes, the nuanced flare at stroke endings, and the distinctly stylized curves in characters like Q, R, and the lowercase g.
