A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, thick main stems, and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate with minimal bracketing, producing crisp starts and finishes and a distinctly “cut” silhouette. Capitals show sculpted bowls and tapered curves, while the lowercase combines sturdy verticals with thin connecting strokes; counters stay relatively open and the rhythm feels precise rather than calligraphic. Numerals follow the same contrast model with slender details and prominent thick–thin transitions.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section titles where the contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for branding and packaging that aims for a premium, editorial voice, and for posters or invitations set at larger sizes.
The overall tone is refined and assertive, with a polished, fashion-forward elegance. Its dramatic contrast and razor-thin details convey prestige and formality, leaning toward classic print traditions while feeling crisp and contemporary in large sizes.
Designed to deliver an elegant, high-fashion serif voice with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, minimal-bracket serifs, optimized for impact in prominent typographic roles.
At text sizes the hairlines and joins can appear very delicate, while at display sizes the contrast becomes a defining feature and the letterforms read as clean and luxurious. The design’s sharp serifs and thin horizontals create a bright, sparkling texture on the page.
