A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and extremely fine hairline serifs set against strong, tapered main stems. The letterforms are tall and stately, with crisp, sharp terminals and minimal bracketing, producing a clean, incisive silhouette. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively open, and spacing feels deliberately measured for display clarity. Numerals and capitals carry a formal, sculpted presence, while the lowercase keeps a poised rhythm with delicate connections and thin cross-strokes.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury brand identities, packaging, and large-format posters where its contrast and fine details can be appreciated. It can also work for pull quotes or short introductory text when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, evoking contemporary magazine typography and luxury branding. Its sharp contrast and airy hairlines create a sense of sophistication and drama, reading as confident, stylish, and premium rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward interpretation of classic high-contrast serif principles, prioritizing elegance, crispness, and dramatic stroke modulation for impact in prominent typographic moments.
The thinnest strokes and serifs are extremely delicate, so the design’s character depends on clean reproduction and ample size. In the sample text, the strong verticals and fine horizontals create a lively shimmer that emphasizes hierarchy and cadence in headlines and short passages.
