A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress. Stems are sturdy and straight, while hairlines are extremely fine, producing crisp joins and sharp, needle-like serifs. Curves are smooth and taut with compact apertures and a polished rhythm in text. Uppercase forms feel statuesque and controlled; lowercase shows a slightly calligraphic liveliness through delicate terminals and thin entry strokes. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, high-contrast texture with elegant, high-end proportions.
Well suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty identities, luxury packaging, and high-end advertising where contrast and finesse are central. It performs best in display and larger text settings, and can work for short editorial paragraphs when size and reproduction conditions preserve the hairlines.
The font conveys luxury and poise with a dramatic, couture-like sparkle from its hairlines. It reads as contemporary editorial: cool, composed, and precise, with just enough sharpness to feel modern and high-impact.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classical high-contrast serif: authoritative capitals, refined lowercase, and a striking thick–thin drama that elevates editorial and brand typography.
Fine details—especially in diagonals and joins—create a shimmering texture at display sizes, while the sharp serifs and narrow hairlines can appear fragile when reduced. The overall spacing and rhythm in the sample text favors a clean, airy color with distinct word shapes.
