A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline detailing. Strokes show a strong vertical axis, with slender, sharply finished serifs and tapered terminals that create a delicate top line against confident verticals. Proportions feel slightly condensed in places with generous cap height and long extenders, producing an elegant, high-fashion rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the design maintains a consistent, polished cadence across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, elegant posters, and refined packaging. It can also work for short editorial passages where a luxurious, high-contrast texture is desired, especially at larger sizes with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, combining delicacy with a theatrical, high-contrast snap. It reads as modern-classic and editorial—designed to feel premium, stylish, and composed rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-contrast serif voice: elegant, attention-grabbing, and optimized for sophisticated display settings. Its controlled proportions and sharply resolved details aim to communicate prestige and polish while maintaining clear, classic letterform structure.
The thin horizontals and fine serifs create sparkling detail at display sizes, while the bold verticals keep letterforms stable. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with sculpted curves and hairline joins that reinforce the formal, couture character.
