A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and prominent vertical stems, producing a polished, engraved feel. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with subtle bracketing in places and crisp terminals that keep outlines clean at display sizes. The capitals are stately and compact, while the lowercase shows a more fluid rhythm with a two-storey a and g, narrow apertures, and pronounced stroke modulation. Numerals and punctuation follow the same contrast-driven logic, giving the set a consistent, couture-like sparkle in large text.
Best suited to display applications such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, brand marks, packaging, and posters where its contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short-form editorial typography at comfortable sizes and on high-quality output where hairlines won’t break up.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, evoking fashion editorial typography and high-end print. Its dramatic contrast and disciplined geometry read as formal and sophisticated, with a slight theatrical flair suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern classic text-serif voice with pronounced elegance, using extreme stroke modulation and sharp finishing to create a premium, attention-forward presence. It aims to balance traditional serif conventions with a contemporary, fashion-oriented crispness.
In the sample text, the hairlines and tight joins create a delicate texture that can feel light and shimmering; spacing appears designed for display, where the contrast and sharp serifs remain crisp. Curves are smoothly drawn with controlled stress, and the type maintains a consistent, upscale rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
