A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. Serifs are sharp and delicate, generally bracketed into stems, giving a sculpted, calligraphic feel without cursive movement. Proportions are classic and slightly narrow in places, with a steady vertical stance and clean, tapered joins. Curves show strong vertical stress, counters are relatively open, and spacing reads balanced for display and larger text, with a touch of lively width variation across capitals.
This face works best for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and prominent typographic moments in editorial layouts. It suits fashion, beauty, and luxury branding, as well as invitations or formal communications where a polished, high-contrast serif is desired. It can also serve as a text companion in larger sizes where its fine details remain clear.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, with a dramatic, high-fashion polish. Its razor-thin details and confident contrast suggest luxury and formality, while the crisp silhouettes keep it modern and composed.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, emphasizing sharp refinement and dramatic stroke modulation for premium, attention-grabbing typography.
In the sample text, the hairlines and fine serifs become a defining feature, lending sparkle and refinement at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction, appearing dignified and well-suited to headings and titling contexts.
