This serif features razor-thin hairlines paired with sharply swelling verticals, producing a crisp, high-drama rhythm across text. Serifs are fine and pointed with minimal bracketing, and many joins taper into needle-like terminals that emphasize a chiseled, precise silhouette. Counters are open and round, while curves show a clear vertical stress and tight, controlled transitions. Spacing reads slightly lively, with a subtle unevenness in stroke tension that gives the letterforms a handcrafted, fashion-forward edge without losing overall consistency.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, cover lines, fashion and beauty collateral, and luxury brand identities. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling on posters where the fine details have room to breathe; for longer passages, larger sizes and generous leading help preserve the airy hairlines and sharp terminals.
The tone is polished and luxurious, with an intentionally fragile, high-fashion delicacy. Its contrast and needle terminals create a sense of drama and exclusivity, evoking boutique branding, magazine culture, and upscale packaging. The overall impression is refined but slightly mischievous, thanks to the occasional sharp flicks and wiry details.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, prioritizing elegance, tension, and visual sparkle. It emphasizes refined silhouettes, vertical stress, and hairline detailing to create a premium editorial voice for modern branding and display composition.
In the samples, the hairlines and thin cross-strokes become visually prominent, especially in smaller details like diagonals, joins, and inner curves. The numerals follow the same showy contrast and feel suited to display settings where their slender features can remain clear.
