A refined high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and prominent, sharp serifs. The design emphasizes vertical stress and crisp transitions into delicate brackets, producing a polished, engraved feel. Capitals are stately and wide-shouldered with generous internal whitespace, while lowercase shows elegant, compact constructions (notably a two-storey a) and slender joining strokes that stay clean at display sizes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same sharp, sculptural logic, with strong thick–thin rhythm and carefully tapered terminals.
Best suited to display and editorial applications such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, invitations, and poster typography. It excels where contrast and sharp detail can be preserved—larger sizes, high-quality print, and thoughtfully spaced compositions.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, leaning toward luxury and editorial refinement. Its dramatic contrast and precise detailing convey formality and confidence, with a fashion-forward, high-end voice rather than an everyday utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-fashion serif typography: maximum elegance through contrast, sharp serifs, and controlled proportions, optimized for impactful titles and polished brand voices.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a sparkling texture that rewards ample size and comfortable line spacing. Letterforms maintain a consistent, disciplined rhythm, with a distinctly crisp silhouette that can feel assertive in headlines and elegant in short blocks of text.
