A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis, hairline connecting strokes, and crisp wedge-like serifs that taper to sharp points. Proportions are relatively narrow, with tall capitals and compact lowercase forms that keep counters controlled and stems prominent. Curves show a pronounced vertical stress and a polished, sculptural modulation from thick to thin, producing a bright, chiseled rhythm across words. Numerals follow the same contrast model with elegant, calligraphic turns and delicate terminals.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and brand marks where high contrast and narrow proportions can provide elegance and impact. It works well for fashion, beauty, and luxury packaging or campaigns, as well as posters and large-format titling where fine hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and high-end, with a runway/editorial sensibility driven by stark contrast and sharp finishing. It feels formal and dramatic rather than casual, projecting sophistication and prestige. The crispness of the serifs and the sleek narrowness add a controlled, contemporary edge to a classic serif voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a traditional high-contrast serif, prioritizing dramatic thick–thin modulation, sharp detailing, and a sleek vertical cadence for attention-grabbing typography.
In sample text, the thin hairlines and pointed serifs create a shimmering texture that rewards generous sizes and clean reproduction. The design’s tight, vertical rhythm and sharp terminals can look especially striking in headlines, while small sizes may require careful spacing and contrast-aware printing or screen rendering.
