A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick-to-thin transitions, giving strokes a crisp, engraved feel. Serifs are sharp and mostly wedge-like with subtle bracketing, while curves are taut and clean, especially in rounded letters and numerals. Proportions lean expansive, with generous uppercase widths and open counters that keep forms airy despite the dramatic contrast. The lowercase shows a measured, bookish rhythm with compact joins and carefully tapered terminals, producing a polished, display-leaning texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and large-format editorial typography where its fine hairlines and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding and packaging applications that benefit from an elegant, high-contrast voice; for long passages, it will be most comfortable at sizes where the delicate details remain clear.
The tone is refined and upscale, evoking editorial design, luxury branding, and fashion publishing. Its dramatic contrast and elegant tapering read as confident and cultured, with a slightly theatrical sophistication suited to headlines and curated settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif, emphasizing elegance, sharp finishing, and a fashionable editorial presence. It prioritizes visual drama and refined detailing to create a premium typographic signature.
The sample text shows a lively sparkle: hairlines stay delicate, while the heavier stems anchor the line, creating a rhythmic alternation that feels intentional and premium. Numerals share the same sculpted contrast, with classic forms and elegant curves that integrate well alongside capitals.
