A refined serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. The design pairs sturdy vertical stems with needle-like hairlines and crisp, largely unbracketed serifs, creating a sleek, chiseled silhouette. Curves are taut and clean, with narrow joins and pointed terminals that give many letters a sculpted, high-end finish. Proportions feel classic and balanced, with tall capitals and a composed, readable lowercase that maintains the high-contrast rhythm in text.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, magazine typography, and fashion or beauty branding where a luxurious, high-contrast voice is desired. It also fits posters, covers, and premium packaging that benefit from sharp typographic drama and refined detail.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, projecting a fashion-forward, premium character. Its sharp hairlines and precise detailing read as sophisticated and curated rather than casual, lending an upscale, gallery-like atmosphere to headlines and display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classic contrasted serif—maximizing elegance through strong verticals, hairline serifs, and precise, sculptural curves while remaining composed in longer display lines.
The contrast-driven construction makes the thinnest strokes visually delicate, so the face reads best when given enough size and breathing room. Numerals follow the same elegant, high-contrast logic, supporting a cohesive typographic color across mixed editorial content.
