A refined serif with an emphatically vertical construction and extreme thick–thin modulation. Stems are strong and columnar while horizontals and connecting strokes collapse into very fine hairlines, producing a bright, high-contrast texture. Serifs are thin and sharp with minimal bracketing, and several joins resolve into pointed, calligraphic-like terminals. Proportions run on the condensed side with tall capitals, a controlled, not overly large x-height, and slightly varied character widths that keep word shapes lively without feeling informal.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine titling, fashion and beauty applications, and elevated brand systems where contrast and elegance are desired. It can also work for short subheads or deck copy when set large enough to preserve the hairline details.
The overall tone is polished and high-fashion, with a dramatic, glossy contrast that reads as premium and editorial. Its crisp hairlines and sculpted curves give a poised, slightly theatrical voice suited to aspirational branding and display typography.
This design appears intended as a contemporary take on high-contrast editorial serifs: compact in footprint, visually assertive in contrast, and engineered to create a chic, premium impression in display use.
In text settings the very thin strokes visually recede, so the face relies on size and spacing to maintain clarity; it looks most confident when allowed generous scale and clean backgrounds. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing sturdy verticals with razor-thin diagonals for a sophisticated, boutique feel.
