A high-contrast serif with strong verticals, extremely fine hairlines, and crisp, sharply cut serifs. Proportions feel on the wide side with generous capitals and open counters, while the overall rhythm stays even and upright. Curves transition abruptly from thick to thin, giving bowls and joins a precise, sculpted look; terminals are clean and pointed rather than rounded. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same stark thick–thin logic, producing a bright, glossy texture at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and larger editorial settings where the hairlines can remain intact and the contrast can shine. It also fits premium branding, beauty/fashion packaging, and poster work where a refined, high-impact serif is desired.
The tone is elegant and high-fashion, with a dramatic contrast that reads as premium and attention-grabbing. Its sharp details and polished forms suggest formality and authority, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than warmth or friendliness.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif look optimized for stylish display typography, balancing classical vertical-stress construction with sharp contemporary finishing for a polished, upscale presence.
The design’s finest strokes become a defining feature in text, creating a sparkling contrast pattern and pronounced letterform silhouettes. Spacing appears comfortable and the shapes remain legible in the sample, but the overall voice is decidedly display-forward due to the extreme hairlines.
