A display serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strong vertical axis. The design pairs hefty vertical stems and full bowls with extremely fine hairline horizontals and razor-thin serifs, creating crisp, high-impact letterforms. Serifs are small and sharp with minimal bracketing, and curves are smooth and tightly controlled, giving counters a polished, sculptural feel. Lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with fine terminals and a clear, traditional construction, while figures carry the same contrast and bold massing for punchy numerals.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and other large-size applications where contrast and hairline detailing can be appreciated. It fits fashion and beauty branding, editorial layouts, cultural posters, and upscale packaging where a dramatic, high-end serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, balancing elegance with assertive presence. It reads as fashion-forward and editorial, with a premium, boutique sensibility driven by the stark contrast and knife-edge detailing.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a bold editorial statement rooted in classic high-contrast serif traditions, emphasizing luxury and clarity through sharp serifs, controlled curves, and a polished, print-oriented texture.
In text, the hairlines and serifs create a shimmering texture and emphasize stroke transitions, especially at larger sizes. The wide proportions and strong black shapes make headings feel expansive, while the delicate horizontals add a crisp, formal finish.
