A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, sturdy main stems, and razor-thin hairlines. Serifs are sharp and lightly supported, giving a crisp, cut-paper edge rather than a soft, bracketed feel. The forms show a mix of classical proportions and stylized detailing: deep curves with tight joins, occasional ball terminals (notably on some lowercase and numerals), and a slightly sculpted rhythm across rounds like C, G, O, and S. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant swells and fine entry/exit strokes, producing a distinctly display-oriented texture at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display, pull quotes, titles, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp serifs can reproduce cleanly. It can also work well for premium packaging and event collateral that benefits from an elegant, high-fashion voice.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, with a couture/editorial polish. The extreme contrast and fine detailing read as premium and formal, leaning toward gallery, fashion, and luxury contexts rather than utilitarian text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif: prioritizing elegance, crispness, and visual drama through hairline details and sculpted curves, while maintaining enough structure to keep word shapes stable in short blocks of copy.
The design creates a lively color on the page due to strong thick–thin alternation and the presence of delicate hairlines that can visually recede at smaller sizes. Rounded letters and figures feel especially decorative, while straights (E, F, H, N) stay crisp and architectural, producing a balanced blend of classic and expressive cues.
