A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and weighty verticals, featuring crisp, tapered serifs and subtly flared stroke endings. The letterforms feel sculpted and calligraphically informed: curves transition quickly from thick to thin, and many joins resolve into pointed, wedge-like terminals. Capitals are stately and narrow in their internal apertures, while the lowercase keeps a measured x-height with elegant ascenders and descenders and pronounced stroke modulation. Numerals echo the same sharp, tapered detailing, giving the set a polished, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and other large-size editorial typography where its contrast and sharp finishing can shine. It also fits luxury branding, beauty and fashion packaging, and sophisticated poster titles where an elegant, premium voice is desired.
The overall tone is poised and glamorous, with a runway/editorial sophistication and a touch of drama. Its sharp contrast and refined finishing convey premium, classical taste—more boutique and aspirational than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-oriented serif voice built around strong thick–thin contrast, crisp tapering, and flared endings. It prioritizes elegance and visual impact in display typography while maintaining classical serif cues for an upscale, editorial character.
In the sample text, the high contrast and fine hairlines create a shimmering rhythm at larger sizes, while tight counters and tapered details increase visual sparkle. The design reads cleanly in display settings, but the most delicate strokes suggest careful use on screens or small sizes where hairlines can fade.
