A high-contrast serif with sculpted, tapering strokes and hairline terminals that give the letterforms a sharp, polished silhouette. Vertical stems read as dense and stable while horizontals and connecting strokes thin to near-hairline, producing a refined, rhythmic sparkle in text. Serifs are elegant and lightly bracketed with subtle flare into stroke endings, and curves are smooth with tightly controlled joins. Proportions feel classical and balanced, with crisp counters and a clean, upright stance across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and campaign typography where high contrast and fine details can be shown clearly. It can also work for short pull quotes or elegant titling, especially with generous spacing and solid printing or high-resolution screens.
The overall tone is sophisticated and dramatic, projecting a couture, gallery-like refinement. Its stark thick–thin modulation and razor details create a sense of prestige and ceremony, ideal for content that wants to feel elevated and meticulously composed.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, high-end serif voice built around extreme contrast and precise finishing, pairing classical proportions with a crisp, contemporary sharpness for impactful display typography.
In the sample text, the strong vertical emphasis and thin linking strokes create a lively texture that feels confident at display sizes. The numerals carry the same contrast and poised, editorial character as the letters, keeping mixed text and figures visually consistent.
