This serif displays pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, straight hairlines and a clear vertical stress. Serifs are fine and sharp, often ending in tapered points, and the joins remain clean with minimal bracketing. Capitals feel statuesque with smooth, round bowls (O, Q) contrasted by knife-like diagonals (V, W, X). Lowercase forms are compact and controlled, with a two-storey a and g and delicate ear/terminal details that keep the texture lively without becoming ornate. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, combining sturdy stems with thin cross-strokes and elegant curves.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine titles, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and striking poster typography. It also works well for short pull quotes and refined titling where elegance and contrast are the primary goals.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, projecting sophistication and a runway/editorial sensibility. Strong contrast and precise detailing create a dramatic, luxurious voice that feels formal and contemporary rather than nostalgic.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-contrast serif for impactful display typography, balancing classic vertical-stress structure with precise, razor-thin detailing for a clean, premium finish.
In text, the font produces a bright, sparkling rhythm: heavy verticals anchor the line while hairlines add a fine, shimmering detail. The extreme contrast favors generous sizes and comfortable spacing, where its sharp serifs and delicate strokes can remain distinct.
