A high-contrast serif with a pronounced vertical stress and crisp, hairline serifs. Stems are strong and dark while connecting strokes and terminals thin sharply, producing a polished, fashion-forward rhythm. Serifs are fine and pointed with subtle bracketing, and many joins flare gently into thicker strokes, giving counters a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Uppercase forms are stately with generous curves and clean, tapered diagonals; lowercase shows a traditional two-storey a and g, narrow apertures, and lively terminals that stay controlled rather than decorative.
This style excels in magazine layouts, fashion and beauty branding, and high-end packaging where sharp contrast can read as premium. It’s well suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and large-scale typography, and can also support refined invitations or identity work when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, balancing classic bookish manners with a contemporary runway sheen. Its sharp contrast and precise serifs communicate sophistication, authority, and a sense of ceremony.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on traditional serif typography, emphasizing contrast, poise, and crisp finishing for impactful display and polished editorial use.
In text, the contrast creates a bright, sparkling texture with strong vertical emphasis, while thin hairlines add delicacy at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven model, with elegant curves and fine finishing that visually aligns with the capitals.
