A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strong vertical axis. The letterforms pair dense, blocky main strokes with razor-thin hairlines and crisp, unbracketed serifs, creating a distinctly sculpted silhouette. Counters are relatively tight in places, and curves show a polished, slightly calligraphic stress that heightens the contrast. Uppercase forms read monumental and formal, while the lowercase keeps a steady, readable rhythm with compact joins and fine entry/exit strokes.
Best used for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and premium packaging where sharp contrast and crisp details can be appreciated. It can work for short text blocks and editorial decks at comfortable sizes, but its finest strokes suggest giving it enough size and resolution to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, with a luxe, fashion-forward presence. It conveys prestige and seriousness while still feeling contemporary due to its sharp finishing and confident contrast. The texture on the page is assertive and high-impact, suited to moments where elegance and attention are the goal.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, high-contrast serif voice: glamorous, authoritative, and visually striking. It prioritizes elegant silhouette and contrast-driven rhythm to create immediate hierarchy and a premium editorial feel.
In paragraph-style samples the hairlines and serifs become a defining texture, producing a bright, sparkling surface against the heavier stems. The numerals and capitals feel particularly display-oriented, with emphatic curves and strong verticals that stand out in headings and pull quotes.
