A high-contrast serif with hairline joins and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with a slightly flared, calligraphic feel that keeps terminals crisp rather than blunt. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm is vertical and orderly, producing a clean, refined texture in mixed-case settings. Numerals and capitals share the same sculpted contrast and slender proportions, giving lines a polished, upmarket sheen.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand-led applications where elegance and contrast are an advantage. It works especially well for luxury branding, beauty/fashion packaging, invitations, and editorial pull quotes, and can support short passages when set at comfortable sizes with sufficient leading.
The tone is poised and luxurious, leaning toward fashion and editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and delicate finishing convey a sense of exclusivity and formal refinement rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice: classic proportions refined with extreme stroke contrast and precise, sharp detailing for maximum sophistication in display and editorial contexts.
In longer text, the thin hairlines and sharp details create an airy, glittering texture that favors generous sizes and comfortable spacing. The letterforms maintain a consistent, modernized classicism, with distinctive tapering in strokes that adds visual sparkle in display use.
