A sharp, high-contrast serif with hairline terminals and a strongly vertical axis. Strokes alternate between very thick stems and extremely thin connecting strokes, creating a crisp, sculpted look. Serifs are fine and tapered rather than bracketed, and curves are smooth with tight joins that emphasize the contrast. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly condensed in rhythm, while lowercase forms are compact and neatly structured with restrained bowls and clean, pointed entry/exit strokes.
Best suited to display sizes such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and premium branding. It works especially well in editorial layouts, magazine covers, fashion and beauty campaigns, and elegant packaging where high contrast can provide a sense of prestige and drama.
The overall tone is polished and aspirational, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its dramatic contrast and razor-thin details suggest sophistication and formality, leaning toward fashion and luxury communication rather than casual or utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-forward take on classic high-contrast serif typography, prioritizing elegance and visual impact. Its fine serifs and disciplined, vertical structure aim to create a luxurious tone and a strong typographic hierarchy in display-led compositions.
The numerals follow the same display-oriented contrast with delicate hairlines and bold main strokes, giving them a refined, old-world glamour. In the text sample, the font reads cleanly at larger sizes, where the fine details and tight modulation are most visible, while the thinnest strokes appear intentionally delicate and attention-grabbing.
