A refined high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, needle-like hairlines. The design shows a strong vertical axis and a largely upright stance, with narrow joins and tapered terminals that keep counters open while emphasizing sharpness at the ends. Serifs are fine and clean, generally unbracketed in feel, and the overall rhythm alternates confidently between sturdy stems and fragile connecting strokes. Lowercase proportions include a relatively small x-height with tall ascenders and descenders, contributing to an elegant, elongated texture in text.
This face performs best in headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other editorial applications where its contrast and hairlines can be appreciated. It suits fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and refined identity work, especially at medium to large sizes where the delicate details remain clear.
The font conveys a poised, couture sensibility—polished, luxurious, and slightly theatrical. Its dramatic contrast and delicate finishing details suggest sophistication and formality, with a cool, editorial confidence rather than a casual tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classic contrasting serif: tall proportions, vertical stress, and precise hairlines aimed at elegant display typography. Its forms prioritize sophistication and visual drama over utilitarian neutrality.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and hairlines become key visual features, creating sparkling highlights at larger sizes while appearing more fragile as size decreases. Numerals and capitals read as display-forward, with sharp diagonals and tapered curves that reinforce a premium, fashion-oriented character.
