A sculpted display serif with pronounced vertical stress and dramatic thick–thin modulation. Stems are weighty and confident, while serifs and connecting strokes taper to fine hairlines, creating crisp, high-contrast silhouettes. The letterforms feel tightly controlled and slightly condensed in places, with smooth, rounded bowls (notably in C/O/e) balanced by sharp terminals and pointed joins. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and delicate finishing strokes that read cleanly at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and short passages where its contrast and detailing can remain intact. It works well for magazine and editorial layouts, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster-style typography where a dramatic, upscale impression is desired.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, evoking editorial headline typography and luxury branding. Its sharp hairlines and polished curves communicate elegance and authority, with a classic, high-fashion sensibility rather than a casual or utilitarian feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif: commanding verticals, refined hairlines, and elegant proportions that prioritize impact and sophistication in display contexts.
In the text sample, the rhythm is driven by strong verticals and crisp punctuation, giving lines a stately cadence. The thin strokes and hairline serifs are visually prominent features, suggesting the design is intended to be seen clearly rather than absorbed quietly in long passages.
