A sharply contrasted serif with strong vertical emphasis and extreme thick–thin modulation. Stems are bold and straight while horizontals and connecting strokes taper to fine hairlines, creating a crisp, high-fashion texture. Serifs are narrow and pointed with minimal bracketing, and many joins resolve into triangular or blade-like terminals. The lowercase shows compact, sculpted bowls with tight apertures, and the numerals and capitals carry the same engraved, glossy rhythm for a cohesive display voice.
Well suited to large headlines, magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and campaign typography where contrast and elegance are assets. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling, especially when given generous size and breathing room to preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its razor-thin details and sculpted terminals feel formal, upscale, and attention-seeking, leaning toward classic luxury rather than casual reading. The high contrast gives it a theatrical, headline-forward presence.
The design appears intended as a modern high-contrast display serif that channels classic editorial and luxury cues while keeping edges crisp and contemporary. Its exaggerated modulation and pointed finishing details prioritize impact and refinement over neutral body-text utility.
In text settings the hairlines and sharp serifs create bright sparkles and strong vertical striping, which reads best at larger sizes. The design’s sharp terminals and tight internal spaces add sophistication but can visually intensify in dense paragraphs, making spacing and size choices especially important.
