A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines, weighty verticals, and sharp, finely bracketed serifs. Curves show pronounced calligraphic stress, with crisp joins and tapered terminals that create a polished, sculpted rhythm. Proportions feel elegant and slightly condensed in impression, with generous counters and a clean, open silhouette in both capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same display-driven contrast, featuring delicate spurs and swash-like curves in figures such as 2, 3, and 9.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and high-impact posters. It can also work for short text passages in generous sizes and comfortable spacing where its fine details remain clear.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, projecting sophistication and a poised, high-fashion sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and needle-fine details give it a confident, premium voice suited to refined, image-forward typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif for editorial and luxury contexts, prioritizing sharp detail, elegant modulation, and striking headline presence.
In text settings the thin strokes and hairline serifs become a defining feature, producing a sparkling, high-end texture with strong vertical emphasis. The italic is not shown; the samples indicate a consistent, upright roman with carefully shaped punctuation and pronounced elegance at large sizes.
