A high-contrast serif with a strong vertical axis, thick main stems, and extremely fine hairlines in its serifs and connecting strokes. The serifs are sharp and delicate, with minimal bracketing and a crisp, cut-in look at joins and terminals. Proportions lean slightly wide, with prominent capitals and clear modulation between thick and thin that creates a bright, glossy texture in text. The numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing sturdy verticals with thin links and pointed finishing details.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and hairlines can be appreciated: magazine headlines, luxury branding, posters, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or section titles where a refined, high-impact serif is desired and reproduction conditions are good enough to preserve the thin details.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, with an unmistakably editorial, high-fashion character. Its crisp hairlines and assertive contrast communicate refinement and formality, while the wide stance and bold verticals add confidence and presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, fashion-forward take on a classic high-contrast serif, emphasizing elegance, sharpness, and strong vertical structure for commanding display typography.
In continuous text the extreme thins create a lively shimmer, while the heavy verticals provide a steady rhythm and strong word shapes. Round letters show clean, controlled curves with pronounced thick–thin transitions, giving the type a precise, engraved feel without becoming ornate.
