A high-contrast serif with prominent thick–thin transitions and crisp, hairline serifs. The letterforms are upright with a distinctly vertical axis and smooth, rounded bowls that feel sculpted rather than calligraphic. Serifs are fine and largely unbracketed, with sharp, precise terminals and narrow joins that heighten the refined rhythm. Proportions lean wider in capitals and round letters, while the lowercase stays balanced with a conventional x-height and clear differentiation between stems, bowls, and apertures. Numerals and punctuation carry the same polished contrast, producing a clean, glossy page color at display sizes.
Well suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster titles where the hairline serifs and strong contrast can shine. It can also work for short editorial decks or pull quotes when set with ample size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is elegant and commanding, with a polished, editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and disciplined geometry suggest luxury contexts—confident, modern, and slightly dramatic rather than warm or rustic.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-fashion serif voice: refined, high-impact, and optimized for attention in titles and brand statements. Its controlled, upright construction and crisp detailing prioritize elegance and visual authority over casual readability at small sizes.
In the text sample, the strong contrast creates a striking texture and pronounced word shapes, especially in capitals and rounded letters. The design reads best when given room—generous tracking and comfortable line spacing help the hairlines stay distinct and avoid visual shimmer in dense settings.
