A refined high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress. Hairline horizontals and delicate joins sit against weighty vertical stems, creating a crisp, glossy rhythm. Serifs are sharp and minimal with little visible bracketing, and many terminals resolve into fine points or small teardrop-like finishes. Uppercase proportions feel stately and tall, while the lowercase is compact with a controlled, even x-height and elegant curves; the numerals echo the same contrast with clean, fashion-forward forms.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine titles, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and dramatic poster headlines. It can work for short editorial pull quotes or large sizes where the hairlines and terminals have room to breathe, rather than dense small-text environments.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a runway/editorial sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and razor-fine details convey sophistication and authority, leaning toward classic luxury rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, editorial take on a classic high-contrast serif: bold vertical structure, elegant hairlines, and sculpted curves that create maximum impact at display sizes while maintaining a composed, premium finish.
In text, the face produces strong vertical emphasis and bright sparkle from hairline strokes, especially in mixed-case settings. The fine hairlines and pointed details increase the sense of precision, while rounded bowls (notably in letters like o, e, and g) keep the texture smooth despite the sharp serif treatment.
