A sharp, high-fashion serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. Curves show a predominantly vertical stress, with round letters like O and Q featuring fine, tapered joins and delicate terminals. The overall rhythm is stately and controlled, with tall capitals, compact lowercase proportions, and cleanly cut details that keep counters open despite the dramatic contrast. Numerals follow the same refined logic, mixing sturdy stems with needle-like hairlines for a polished, display-forward texture.
Best suited to display typography where its hairline serifs and dramatic modulation can remain crisp—magazine and website headlines, luxury and beauty branding, campaign posters, and book or film titling. It can work in short editorial passages at comfortable sizes with ample leading, where the refined contrast becomes a feature rather than a distraction.
The font conveys a poised, luxury-leaning tone—confident, formal, and editorial. Its sharp contrast and precise finishing read as sophisticated and fashion-aware, lending an upscale, curated feel to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, premium serif voice built on high-contrast principles, optimizing for striking headlines and an upscale editorial presence. It balances classical structure with contemporary simplification and clean cutting to keep the texture bright and stylish.
In text settings, the strong contrast creates a distinctive sparkle and pronounced vertical cadence, especially where hairlines intersect at joins and serifs. Letterforms such as the single-storey a and the open, two-storey-style g add a contemporary twist within an otherwise classical, high-contrast framework.
