A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The letterforms show vertical stress and a distinctly modern rhythm, with sharp apexes on V/W and clean, knife-like joins. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow in impression, while lowercase forms keep a measured x-height and open counters, producing a polished texture in continuous text. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine details that read as delicate at smaller sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where its contrast can create impact and elegance. It also fits magazine typography, luxury branding, and premium packaging, and can add a formal, classic note to invitations and event materials. In longer passages, it works best with comfortable sizing and spacing to maintain clarity of the hairlines.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, projecting a premium, fashion-forward character. Its dramatic contrast and refined finishing lend it a cultured, formal voice suited to sophisticated typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice: sharp, controlled, and visually dramatic, with consistent refinement across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Stroke endings and serifs remain consistently fine across the set, emphasizing a sleek silhouette and crisp edge definition. The design’s contrast and hairline details suggest it will look best when given enough size and resolution to preserve its thin strokes.
