A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and prominent vertical stress, pairing sturdy main stems with delicate, tapered joins. Serifs are fine and sharply bracketed, with elegant, slightly calligraphic shaping in curves and terminals. Proportions feel balanced and moderately condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase shows lively modulation and clear differentiation between round and straight forms. Numerals share the same dramatic thick–thin rhythm, with crisp edges and a polished, display-ready finish.
Best suited for headlines, magazine layouts, and other editorial settings where high contrast enhances visual hierarchy. It also fits premium branding, cosmetics/fashion packaging, and poster-style typography that benefits from crisp, refined letterforms.
The overall tone is sophisticated and composed, projecting an upscale, editorial personality. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details add a sense of fashion-forward elegance, while the traditional serif structure keeps it anchored in classic typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, polished take on classical high-contrast serifs, emphasizing elegance, clarity, and visual drama for display and editorial typography.
In text, the bright hairlines and strong verticals create a sparkling rhythm, especially at larger sizes where the contrast can fully resolve. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright with consistent stress and carefully controlled curves.
