A crisp, high-contrast serif with hairline connecting strokes and strong vertical stress. Letterforms are built from sharp, straight stems paired with broad, smooth curves, creating a clean, polished rhythm. Serifs are fine and pointed with minimal bracketing, and terminals often end in tapered, knife-like cuts. Capitals feel statuesque and roomy, while lowercase maintains a composed, bookish structure with a delicate presence and occasional calligraphic flair in curves and joins.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, invitations, and premium packaging where its sharp contrast can shine. It can also work for short blocks of text in high-quality print or large sizes, where the fine strokes remain clear and the elegant rhythm supports comfortable reading.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, evoking classic fashion publishing and luxury branding. Its thin details and dramatic contrast read as sophisticated and formal, with a distinctly editorial, display-forward personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-fashion serif styling: dramatic contrast, razor-fine details, and a calm, upright posture that signals prestige and refinement in branding and editorial contexts.
Curves show subtle modulation and tight hairline details, which amplify sparkle at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and look designed to match titling and headline settings, with elegant curves and sharp finishing strokes.
