A refined high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and crisp, hairline serifs. Strokes alternate sharply between thick stems and extremely thin joins and crossbars, producing a lively, elegant rhythm. Serifs are mostly unbracketed and knife-like, with occasional ball terminals and teardrop finishes (notably in the lowercase), while curves are smoothly drawn and tightly controlled. Proportions feel display-leaning: capitals are stately and wide-set, lowercase forms are compact with a moderate x-height, and numerals follow the same contrast logic with delicate hairlines and prominent thick strokes.
Best suited to large sizes where its hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster titles. It can work for short editorial pull quotes or deck copy, but the intense contrast and fine details make it less ideal for small sizes or dense body text on low-resolution outputs.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward polish. Its dramatic contrast and razor details communicate sophistication and formality, reading as premium and classic rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design intent appears to be a contemporary take on a classic, high-contrast serif for display and editorial settings, emphasizing elegance, visual drama, and typographic sparkle. It prioritizes refined detail and a polished silhouette to support premium branding and attention-grabbing titles.
In text, the thin connections and hairline serifs create pronounced sparkle, especially around tight joins and small internal counters. The design shows a measured, traditional construction with modern crispness, favoring sharp finishing and clean edges over softness or heavy bracketing.
