A sharply contrasted serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions, vertical stress, and needle-fine hairlines. Serifs are crisp and minimally bracketed, giving terminals a clean, cut finish. Uppercase proportions feel refined and slightly condensed in places, with generous curves on round letters and a controlled, steady rhythm across the set. Lowercase is compact with a moderate x-height, narrow apertures, and delicate joins that stay consistent in high-contrast areas. Figures echo the same high-contrast construction, with a mix of round and straighter forms that read best at display sizes.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster typography where the contrast and hairlines can remain intact. It can work for short-form editorial text at comfortable sizes, especially in print, where its crisp detailing and refined rhythm help carry a luxurious tone.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, conveying a fashion/editorial sensibility with a classic, print-forward sophistication. Its fine details and dramatic contrast project confidence and formality rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic high-contrast serif voice: sharp, elegant, and attention-grabbing, with refined curves and controlled spacing tailored for editorial and brand-forward typography.
In text, the hairline horizontals and thin serifs become a defining feature, creating a bright, shimmering texture and strong hierarchy when paired with more robust type. The italic is not shown; the presented style relies on upright, sharply drawn forms where spacing and contrast do most of the expressive work.
