A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and dominant verticals, producing a crisp, glossy texture on the page. Serifs are fine and pointed, with several strokes widening into subtle flared, wedge-like terminals that sharpen the silhouette rather than rounding it. The proportions feel classical and measured, with relatively small apertures and a disciplined rhythm; curves are smooth and taut, and joins stay clean without soft bracketing. Capitals are stately and wide-set, while the lowercase shows compact, polished forms with decisive entry/exit strokes and a refined, display-oriented finish.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, premium branding, posters, and title treatments where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes and spacing, especially when a refined, high-contrast voice is desired.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, projecting a fashion-and-editorial sensibility with a distinctly modern, high-end sheen. Its sharp contrast and precise terminals add a sense of drama and confidence, lending an impression of luxury and formality rather than casual warmth.
This design appears aimed at delivering an elegant, contemporary take on classical serif forms, emphasizing dramatic contrast and crisp terminal shaping for a luxurious, editorial presence. The controlled proportions and polished detailing suggest a focus on high-impact typography for titles and brand moments rather than purely utilitarian text.
In text, the contrast creates strong vertical striping and a sparkling top line from the hairlines, which can look striking at larger sizes. The numerals and capitals echo the same sharp, high-contrast logic, helping titles and short blocks feel consistent and intentional.
