A refined serif with extreme thick–thin modulation, strong vertical stress, and crisp, knife-like hairlines. Serifs are thin and sharply cut, with minimal bracketing and a clean, glossy finish at joins. Capitals feel broad and stately, with ample internal space in rounds like C and O, while the lowercase keeps a steady, readable rhythm and a moderate x-height. The overall color alternates between bold vertical stems and delicate cross-strokes, producing a bright, high-contrast texture in text.
Best suited to display and large-size typography such as headlines, magazine covers, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and premium packaging. It can work for short editorial passages when set generously, but its fine hairlines favor good printing or high-resolution screen rendering.
The font conveys a polished, high-end tone—confident, formal, and a little theatrical. Its sharp contrasts and fine detailing read as luxe and cultivated, evoking the cadence of classic magazine typography and display titling.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: wide, stately proportions paired with razor-thin details for maximum sophistication and impact in display settings.
In the sample text, the heavy stems dominate the line, while the hairlines and thin serifs add sparkle but also increase sensitivity to size and reproduction conditions. Numerals match the letterforms’ contrast and elegance, with prominent thick strokes and very light connecting strokes that reinforce the same refined, editorial character.
