A high-contrast serif with a pronounced thick–thin rhythm, vertical emphasis, and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate, often ending in needle-like points, while main stems stay smooth and confident, creating a distinctly “cut” silhouette. Capitals are stately and narrow-to-moderate in footprint, with generous bowls and clean, open counters; curves transition briskly into thin terminals. The lowercase keeps a relatively moderate x-height with airy spacing and slender entry strokes, and the numerals follow the same dramatic contrast, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes.
Best suited to display typography where its hairlines and sharp serifs can resolve cleanly—magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty packaging, luxury branding, and high-end event materials. It can work for short blocks of text in print-oriented contexts when set with ample size and comfortable leading.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, leaning toward contemporary fashion and premium editorial aesthetics. Its dramatic contrast and crisp detailing feel poised, cultivated, and slightly theatrical, projecting sophistication over warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern interpretation of classic high-contrast serif letterforms: refined proportions, strong vertical structure, and striking hairline finesse that creates a premium, editorial voice.
Several glyphs show intentionally extreme hairline connections and minimal bracketing, which heightens sparkle at display sizes but can make fine details visually fragile when reduced. The rhythm in running text is lively due to the strong verticals and the bright, thin horizontals, producing a distinctive “glossy” texture on the page.
