This typeface is a high-contrast serif with a strong vertical axis, pairing thick, weighty stems with extremely thin hairlines and serifs. The serifs are sharp and finely drawn with minimal bracketing, creating a crisp, glossy edge at display sizes. Proportions feel expansive and showy, with prominent capitals and rounded forms that emphasize the thick–thin rhythm. Curves on letters like C, G, S, and the numerals feature pronounced stress and tight, refined joins, while the lowercase maintains a conventional x-height and clear, structured silhouettes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine covers, fashion and beauty campaigns, luxury packaging, and high-impact posters. It also works well for short editorial headlines, pull quotes, and titling where its sharp hairlines and strong contrast can remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, projecting a premium, fashion-forward sensibility with a distinctly editorial voice. Its stark contrast and razor details give it a sense of sophistication and drama, lending a confident, high-end feel to headlines and titling.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-fashion take on classic contrast-driven serif forms, prioritizing impact, elegance, and a refined thick–thin cadence for prominent, attention-grabbing typography.
At larger sizes the hairlines read as elegant and precise, while at smaller sizes they may appear delicate due to the extreme contrast. The design’s rhythm is driven by bold verticals and finely tapered horizontals, producing a punchy, high-impact texture in text settings.
