A high-contrast serif with crisp, sculpted letterforms and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation. Serifs are sharp and hairline-like with occasional wedgey, flared joins, creating a polished, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Capitals feel broad and monumental with generous curves and tapered strokes, while lowercase shows tight, elegant detailing in joins and terminals. Figures and punctuation match the same refined contrast and clean, upright stance, producing a bright, glossy texture at display sizes.
Well suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, premium branding, and packaging where contrast and polish are assets. It also works for posters and large-format titling where the thin strokes have room to breathe and the dramatic modulation can define hierarchy.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, with a poised, high-fashion sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and razor-fine details suggest sophistication and prestige, while the upright structure keeps it controlled and modern rather than nostalgic.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver an elevated, contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, prioritizing elegance and visual impact in display and editorial settings.
The design relies on delicate hairlines and crisp corners, giving it a luxurious sheen but also making its fine features visually prominent. The sample text shows strong word shapes and a distinctive sparkle from the thin strokes, especially in curved letters and at serif tips.
