A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and confident, sculpted thick strokes. Serifs are sharp and finely bracketed, with tapered terminals and a distinctly calligraphic stress that gives bowls and curves a polished, chiseled feel. Uppercase proportions read stately and slightly condensed in rhythm, while the lowercase shows compact, refined forms with crisp joins and controlled counters. Numerals echo the same contrast and sharp finishing, producing a clean, formal typographic color in display sizes.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and striking poster typography where contrast and sharp detailing can be showcased. It can also work for pull quotes and section titles in editorial layouts when set with comfortable spacing and adequate size.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, with a refined, fashion-forward voice. Its sharp serifs and extreme modulation convey prestige and editorial sophistication, leaning more toward high-style headlines than casual reading.
This design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classic high-contrast serifs—prioritizing elegance, sparkle, and a strong editorial voice for display typography.
Curves show pronounced thick–thin transitions and pointed finishing on diagonals (notably in V/W/X), which heightens sparkle but can make fine details feel delicate at smaller sizes. The sample text demonstrates strong word-shape clarity for short runs while emphasizing a luxurious, high-end presence.
