A crisp, high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and very fine hairline serifs. The capitals are tall and stately with sharp, clean terminals and a distinctly display-oriented rhythm, while the lowercase maintains a steady x-height and tight, controlled curves. Counters are relatively compact and the joins stay clean, giving the forms a polished, engraved feel. Numerals follow the same dramatic thick–thin pattern, with elegant, narrow curves and thin connecting strokes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster titling where the dramatic stroke contrast can work as a focal point. It can also support short pull quotes and display-sized editorial text when set with generous spacing and careful color management.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, projecting a couture/editorial sensibility with a classic, formal backbone. Its sharp contrast and delicate hairlines feel premium and intentionally attention-grabbing, suited to sophisticated, high-end contexts.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-fashion display serif that leverages extreme contrast and hairline detailing to convey elegance and authority. Its proportions and crisp finishing suggest it is meant to deliver impact in large sizes while maintaining a classic, formal voice.
In text, the contrast creates strong sparkle and pronounced stroke rhythm, especially in mixed-case passages. The thin strokes and serifs read as delicate, so spacing and size will significantly affect perceived clarity; it shines most when given room and scale.
