A high-contrast serif with vertical stress, thick main stems, and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and largely unbracketed, reading as crisp wedges and thin horizontal caps rather than soft transitions. Bowls and rounds (O, C, G, 0) show pronounced thick–thin modulation, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) alternate between heavy strokes and needle-thin hairlines, creating an intentionally sparkling texture. Proportions are slightly condensed in places with confident, weighty capitals and a compact, editorial rhythm in text.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairlines can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, high-end packaging, and poster typography. It also works for short subheads and pull quotes when generous spacing and printing conditions preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is glamorous and assertive, with a couture, magazine-like polish. Its razor-thin details and dramatic contrast feel refined and high-status, while the heavy verticals keep the voice authoritative and attention-grabbing.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on classical contrasted serif forms, prioritizing elegance and visual drama. Its construction emphasizes crisp serifs and extreme modulation to create a premium, editorial presence.
The design leans on stark thick–thin transitions, so fine strokes and delicate joins become prominent stylistic features rather than purely functional details. In mixed text, the strong vertical emphasis produces a striped cadence, with highlights appearing in the hairline diagonals and thin cross-strokes.
