A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick-to-thin modulation and a strong vertical stress. The letterforms show crisp, fine hairlines and small, sharp serifs, paired with broad, sculpted main stems that create a bold black-and-white rhythm. Curves are smooth and polished, with narrow connective strokes and occasional pointed joins in diagonals, giving the face a lively, calligraphic edge while remaining firmly upright. Spacing and proportions read generously horizontal, helping capitals and round letters feel expansive and display-oriented.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine and cultural editorial layouts, and brand marks that need a refined, premium voice. It can also work for short passages in high-quality print or large on-screen settings where the hairlines and tight details remain clear.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, balancing classic bookish refinement with a distinctly dramatic, runway-ready sheen. The extreme contrast and razor-like details convey luxury, formality, and a sense of spectacle, especially at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classical high-contrast serif: commanding in headlines, luxurious in tone, and visually striking through extreme modulation and precision-cut detailing.
In text, the thin hairlines and delicate serifs become a defining feature, producing a sparkling texture that rewards ample size and careful reproduction. The design’s sharp contrast makes round forms and diagonals particularly eye-catching, giving headlines a distinctive, high-fashion cadence.
