A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and weighty verticals, creating a crisp, fashion-forward texture. Serifs are sharp and tapering, with subtly flared stroke endings that give terminals a chiseled, calligraphic bite rather than blunt slabs. Proportions lean toward tall, stately capitals and relatively narrow bowls, while lowercase forms stay readable with a moderate x-height and clean, upright construction. Curves are smooth and controlled, joins are tight, and counters remain open enough to keep the rhythm clear at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display, fashion and beauty branding, and premium packaging where its contrast can shine. It also works well for pull quotes and titling in editorial layouts, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, balancing classical bookish authority with modern editorial drama. Its contrast and sharp finishing details project confidence, sophistication, and a slightly theatrical elegance suited to premium branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice with classic roots—prioritizing striking contrast, sharp detail, and a polished silhouette for display-led typography.
Round characters show delicate hairline transitions that emphasize the vertical axis, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X) stay crisp without softening at the joins. Numerals share the same contrast and fine terminals, giving mixed text a consistent, polished voice when set large.
