A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis and razor-thin hairlines set against heavy stems. Serifs are fine and crisp, often appearing as delicate wedges or hairline terminals, giving the outlines a polished, chiseled feel. Counters tend to be compact relative to the thick strokes, and joins are clean with little visible bracketing. The lowercase shows a traditional, text-like construction (two-storey a, compact e) while maintaining the same dramatic stroke contrast and finely tapered details across letters and numerals.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headers, fashion and beauty branding, book or film titles, posters, and high-impact pull quotes. It can work for short blocks of editorial text when set large with comfortable tracking and leading, but its finest strokes are most convincing where reproduction quality is high.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, balancing classical refinement with a distinctly theatrical contrast. It reads as premium and style-forward, with a poised, slightly formal presence that feels at home in curated, image-led design.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classic contrasted serif: bold vertical presence, refined hairlines, and crisp finishing details that project sophistication and authority in prominent typographic roles.
At display sizes the hairline details and sharp terminals become a defining feature, creating a glittery, high-end texture in headlines. In longer lines, the combination of heavy verticals and fine horizontals produces a strong typographic color and a pronounced rhythm that benefits from generous spacing and solid print or high-resolution rendering.
