A refined, high-contrast roman with hairline connecting strokes and pronounced thick verticals. The design leans narrow with a tall, statuesque posture and tightly drawn curves, creating a sleek rhythm in text. Terminals are sharp and clean, with wedge-like, flared endings that read as modern rather than ornate. Counters are compact and the overall color alternates between bold stems and delicate links, giving lines of type a crisp, shimmering texture.
Best suited to display work where its contrast and narrow set can create a sophisticated, high-impact voice—magazine headlines, mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling in editorial layouts where ample size and spacing preserve the hairline details.
The tone is polished and dramatic, balancing luxury cues with a controlled, contemporary restraint. Its contrast and narrow proportions evoke fashion mastheads and editorial typography, while the crisp edges keep it feeling current and intentional rather than nostalgic.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern luxury impression through extreme stroke modulation, tight proportions, and crisp terminals—aimed at attention-grabbing display typography with a couture/editorial sensibility.
In the sample text, the strong thick/thin modulation produces a lively vertical beat and makes punctuation and dots feel prominent against the hairlines. The figures follow the same contrast model, with elegant curves and slender joins that visually match the uppercase. At smaller sizes, the finest strokes may visually recede, while larger settings highlight the design’s sharp detailing and premium finish.
