A high-contrast roman with razor-thin hairlines and assertive vertical stems, producing a crisp, etched color on the page. Curves are smooth and disciplined, with tapered joins and delicate terminals that often finish in subtle teardrop/ball details (notably on forms like J, Q, and several lowercase descenders). Proportions feel classically informed: round letters are generous and open, while verticals stay straight and stable; diagonals (V, W, X) read sharp and clean. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and single-storey g, with compact, well-contained counters and a neat, slightly formal rhythm across text.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and fine hairlines can be appreciated—magazine headlines, large pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and elegant poster typography. It can also work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes with adequate print/screen fidelity and generous spacing.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, combining dramatic contrast with restrained detailing. It conveys a sense of fashion editorial sophistication—confident, poised, and a little theatrical—without becoming ornamental to the point of novelty.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, editorial take on classic high-contrast letterforms: clean, upright structure paired with precise hairlines and selective ball terminals for a distinctive, luxury-forward signature.
In continuous text the extreme thin strokes can visually recede, emphasizing the bold stems and giving a sparkling, high-fashion texture. The numerals follow the same contrast logic, with especially delicate curves on 6/8/9 and a slender, understated 1.
