A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and crisp, hairline detailing. Stems are bold and upright while cross-strokes, serifs, and connecting joins fall to very thin lines, creating a pronounced light–dark rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharp with minimal bracketing, and many forms show tapered or needle-like terminals that emphasize precision. Curves are smooth and controlled, with compact counters in some letters and occasional swashy flicks in lowercase (notably in g, j, s), giving the design a slightly calligraphic finish without losing its structured, editorial skeleton.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display typography, fashion and beauty branding, and premium packaging where its contrast can be shown at generous sizes. It can also work for pull quotes and title treatments where a refined, high-impact serif is desired. For small sizes or low-resolution environments, the very thin strokes may require careful testing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, projecting luxury and confidence through extreme contrast and poised proportions. It feels contemporary-classic: formal enough for premium branding, yet expressive enough to add flair in display settings. The crisp hairlines and sharp terminals contribute a sophisticated, high-end mood.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-fashion serif voice: sharply contrasted, vertically oriented, and visually luxurious. Its mix of disciplined roman structure with occasional decorative lowercase details suggests an aim for expressive editorial typography that remains clean and authoritative.
In the sample text, the font reads with a strong vertical cadence, and the thin hairlines become a key part of its personality—especially in diagonals and cross-strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven approach, with elegant curves and fine terminals that match the letterforms’ refined texture. Spacing appears balanced for display work, allowing the contrast to remain the main visual feature.
