A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, featuring thick main stems paired with extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate with minimal bracketing, giving strokes a crisp, chiseled finish. Uppercase forms feel stately and compact with strong straight-sided architecture, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic curvature and pointed entry/exit strokes. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are controlled, producing a dense, polished texture in text. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant thin connections and weighty verticals that read best at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It fits editorial and fashion-oriented layouts, premium packaging, and poster work that calls for a formal, high-impact serif presence.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical, with a distinctly editorial kind of elegance. Its razor-thin details and sculpted curves evoke luxury and formality, lending a sense of authority and occasion to headlines and short text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on classical serif construction—prioritizing elegant contrast, crisp finishing, and a commanding vertical rhythm for display typography.
The design relies on very fine horizontals and hairline joins that create sparkle at large sizes but can visually fade as size decreases. The rhythm is vertical and emphatic, and the letterforms show a deliberate alternation of heavy strokes and needle-thin transitions that heightens the sense of drama.
