A refined display serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline horizontals. Serifs are sharp and largely unbracketed, with tapered terminals and a clean, vertical axis that produces a poised, upright rhythm. Curves are drawn with generous contrast and smooth bowls, while joins and apexes stay pointed and precise, giving capitals a sculpted, high-fashion profile. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with a modest x-height, prominent ascenders/descenders, and delicate crossbars and ear details that emphasize the font’s airy, high-contrast texture.
Best suited to fashion-led headlines, magazine mastheads, luxury branding systems, and high-impact posters where contrast can be appreciated. It can also support short editorial passages or pull quotes when set large enough to preserve the delicate hairlines and sharp serifs.
The overall tone is elegant and high-end, with a dramatic, couture sensibility. Its razor-thin details and glossy contrast read as sophisticated and intentional, conveying exclusivity and editorial polish rather than warmth or casualness.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary, high-contrast serif that channels classic modern serif glamour while maintaining crisp, minimal detailing. It prioritizes visual drama, elegance, and a polished editorial presence over utilitarian, small-size text robustness.
In text settings the hairlines and fine joins create a bright, shimmering rhythm that benefits from ample size and comfortable spacing. The numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, reinforcing a consistent, formal voice across mixed-case and editorial copy.
