A high-contrast serif with dominant vertical stems and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with minimal bracketing, creating a crisp, cut-paper feel at joins and terminals. Curves are tightly controlled and sculptural, especially in bowls and figures, with a vertical stress that emphasizes the thick–thin rhythm. Uppercase forms read statuesque and display-oriented, while the lowercase keeps a conventional structure with compact joins and clear, pointed finishing strokes.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines can remain visible and the contrast can perform as a graphic feature—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, posters, and pull quotes. It can work for short subheads or curated blocks of text when printed well or rendered at sufficiently large sizes, but it is primarily optimized for display impact.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical: elegant, premium, and intentionally attention-grabbing. Its extreme contrast and razor serifs evoke fashion mastheads, luxury packaging, and high-end editorial typography, with a slightly severe, modern edge rather than a warm bookish feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on a classic high-contrast serif: dramatic thick–thin structure, refined detailing, and a confident vertical stance aimed at premium editorial and brand applications.
In text settings the hairlines and thin cross-strokes become the defining feature, so spacing and background contrast will strongly influence perceived sharpness. Numerals follow the same sculpted, contrasty logic, with pronounced thick verticals and tapered curves that reinforce a glamorous, display-forward voice.
