A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, hairline serifs, and crisp, sharply finished terminals. The overall construction leans on vertical stress and tall, elegant proportions, with narrow joins and tapered entry/exit strokes that create a refined, cutting silhouette. Curves are smooth and controlled, while diagonals (as in V/W/Y) feel blade-like due to the stark contrast and pointed finishing. Numerals echo the same contrast and elegance, with slender hairlines and strong main strokes for a polished, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other editorial display settings where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefit from a refined, upscale serif voice. For longer passages, it will feel most comfortable in well-spaced layouts and larger text sizes where the fine hairlines have room to breathe.
The typeface conveys a poised, editorial tone—glossy, sophisticated, and deliberately dramatic. Its sharp contrast and clean finishing suggest contemporary luxury while retaining a classic, bookish authority. In text samples it reads as formal and confident, with a fashion-magazine kind of brightness and snap.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice that reads as both classic and fashion-forward. Its controlled geometry, vertical stress, and hairline detailing prioritize elegance and impact for display use while maintaining a conventional serif structure for familiar readability.
The high contrast produces a lively rhythm and noticeable sparkle, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines and serifs remain visually intentional. The bold main strokes create strong word shapes, while the fine connecting strokes and delicate serifs add refinement; this combination gives headings an upscale, high-impact presence.
