A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, pairing robust stems with extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with minimal bracketing and a crisp, cut-in feel at many joins and terminals. Proportions read relatively narrow overall, with tall capitals and taut curves; several letters show tapered strokes and thin, needle-like diagonals that heighten the sheen of the design. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and a sculpted rhythm, with compact bowls and tight apertures that keep the texture smooth and controlled in setting.
Best suited for display use such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury branding, and premium packaging where large sizes can showcase the hairlines and sharp serifs. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when generous size and careful spacing are available.
The tone is polished and high-fashion, with a glossy, editorial presence that feels premium and intentional. Its dramatic contrast and razor-fine details create a sense of luxury and formality, while the narrow stance adds sophistication and restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif—optimized for dramatic, upscale typography. Its narrow proportions, vertical emphasis, and precise hairlines suggest a focus on elegant impact in headline and branding contexts rather than utilitarian long-form reading.
In text, the face produces a shimmering pattern where thick verticals dominate and thin linking strokes recede, creating a refined but assertive page color. The numerals follow the same contrast logic, with especially delicate curves and hairline joins that echo the letters’ sharp, tailored finishing.
