A very high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and thin connecting strokes set against stronger vertical stems. Serifs are fine and sharply bracketed-to-unbracketed in feel, giving terminals a crisp, polished edge. Curves are smooth and carefully tensioned, with a vertical axis that reads clearly in rounds like O and Q. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, narrow joins, and compact bowls, producing a clean, disciplined rhythm; numerals follow the same contrast logic with elegant, tapered shapes.
Well suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury brand identities, and high-end packaging where contrast and elegance are assets. It can work for short passages such as pull quotes or introductions when given generous size and spacing, but it is most convincing in display and titling contexts.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a runway/editorial sophistication. Its delicate detailing and bright contrast convey formality and modern refinement rather than warmth or rusticity.
The letterforms suggest an intention to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast book-and-fashion serifs: dramatic vertical emphasis, refined hairlines, and crisp detailing aimed at premium editorial and branding applications.
At larger sizes the hairlines and fine serifs become a defining feature, creating sparkle and precision; in denser settings they may visually recede compared with the dominant verticals. The design’s crispness and tall, sculpted capitals support a premium, display-forward voice even when used in mixed-case text.
