A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and dense, sculpted thick strokes, set on an upright axis. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with sharp terminals and occasional tapered, calligraphic flicks on diagonals. Capitals feel broad and authoritative with generous internal space, while lowercase forms show a traditional, bookish structure (two-storey a and g) and crisp joins. Overall spacing reads open, but the heavy/thin transitions create a sparkling rhythm that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where the crisp contrast can read as a design feature. It also fits premium branding, beauty and fashion applications, and display settings such as posters and packaging where sharp serifs and elegant proportions can be appreciated.
The tone is polished and theatrical, balancing classical refinement with a fashion-forward edge. Its stark contrast and sharp details convey prestige and formality, making text feel curated and intentional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on a traditional serif, prioritizing sharp contrast, refined detailing, and strong headline impact while retaining familiar text-serif letterforms for readable phrasing in short passages.
In continuous text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs contribute a shimmering texture, and the bold vertical emphasis gives words a strong headline presence. Numerals match the same contrast-driven construction and look suited to prominent settings where detail is preserved.
