A high-contrast serif with a distinctly modern, fashion-oriented construction: thick vertical stems paired with hairline horizontals and razor-thin connecting strokes. Serifs are fine and sharply bracketed to unbracketed in appearance, producing crisp terminals and a polished, engraved feel. Capitals are broad and stately with strong vertical emphasis, while lowercase shows compact bowls and tight apertures that heighten the contrast-driven sparkle. Round forms (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) are smooth and taut, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) resolve to needle-like joins, giving the design a clean, sculpted rhythm in display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine mastheads, editorial headlines, and high-end branding where contrast and elegance are assets. It also works well for book covers, invitations, and packaging that benefit from a refined, premium voice.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a dramatic contrast that reads as editorial and fashion-forward. It feels formal and composed rather than friendly, projecting authority and sophistication with a slightly theatrical edge.
Designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, emphasizing elegance, sharp detail, and a striking headline presence. The forms aim to look polished and authoritative, prioritizing visual drama and refinement over utilitarian text neutrality.
The letterforms show consistent stress and a deliberate tension between heavy verticals and fragile hairlines, creating a bright texture in headlines and pull quotes. Spacing and proportions favor a luxurious, composed look, while the thin strokes suggest better results at larger sizes or in high-quality print/rendering contexts.
