This serif features extreme stroke modulation with hairline-thin horizontals and sharply tapered joins set against weighty vertical stems. Serifs are fine and crisp, often wedge-like with subtle bracketing, and terminals frequently end in pointed, calligraphic teardrops that add a sense of precision. Round forms are tall and smoothly drawn with narrow apertures, while diagonal letters (V, W, X, Y) show razor-thin connecting strokes and needle-like vertices. The lowercase has compact, controlled shapes with a two-storey “g” and delicate, high-contrast details that require generous size or careful reproduction.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and luxury branding where the contrast can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes in high-quality print or high-resolution digital environments, and pairs well with minimal layouts and generous spacing.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, evoking high-end print design and classic fashion typography. Its sharp contrast and polished curves create a theatrical, attention-grabbing voice that feels formal and curated rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-fashion serif voice: crisp hairlines, sculpted curves, and disciplined proportions that prioritize elegance and impact over utilitarian small-size robustness.
In running text the hairlines create a sparkling texture, but the thinnest strokes and tight inner counters can visually soften or fill in at small sizes or on low-resolution outputs. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender cross-strokes and pronounced curves that suit display settings.
