A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and vertical stress. Stems are heavy and confident while hairlines and serifs are extremely fine, creating a crisp, calligraphic snap at joins and terminals. Serifs are sharp and delicate with minimal bracketing, and many letters show tapered, slightly teardrop-like endings that add elegance. Proportions run on the wider side with open counters and steady, upright rhythm; lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with clear differentiation between bowls, stems, and apertures.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and high-impact editorial layouts where its contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for luxury branding elements like beauty/fashion packaging, invitations, and poster titling, especially when set large with comfortable tracking.
The overall tone is glamorous and editorial, projecting confidence and polish through dramatic contrast and razor-fine details. It feels formal and premium, with a fashion-magazine sensibility that reads as curated and intentional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice: wide, poised letterforms paired with extreme contrast and sharp detailing for maximum visual drama. It prioritizes elegance and impact, aiming for premium presentation in display and editorial contexts.
In text, the thick verticals dominate while the hairlines add sparkle, so spacing and line breaks matter to avoid a busy shimmer at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same display-forward contrast, with the 4 notably hairline-heavy and the 8/9 showing strong bowl contrast, reinforcing a refined, high-impact look.
