A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems, extremely fine hairlines, and sharp, tapered serifs. Curves are smooth and tensioned, with a pronounced vertical stress that creates a polished, display-forward rhythm. The letterforms feel slightly expanded, with generous counters and clean, decisive terminals; the lowercase keeps a conventional structure while the joins and serifs stay crisp at large sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with sleek diagonals and tight hairline details.
Best suited to display applications such as magazine titles, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and large-format headlines where its contrast and sharp serif detailing can be appreciated. It can work for short text passages in spacious editorial layouts, but it is most convincing as a statement face for titles, pull quotes, and campaign typography.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, projecting an upscale, editorial character associated with fashion and luxury branding. Its crisp hairlines and glossy contrast give it a refined, confident presence that reads as contemporary-classic rather than rustic or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice through exaggerated thick–thin contrast and fine, precise finishing. It prioritizes impact and sophistication in display settings while retaining familiar text-serif construction for recognizable reading forms.
Hairline details and thin cross-strokes are visually prominent, so the design’s personality is most apparent when reproduced at sufficient size and resolution. The set shows consistent contrast handling across capitals, lowercase, and figures, maintaining a cohesive, carefully finished texture in headlines.
