A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis and razor-thin hairlines that snap against dense, dark stems. Serifs are fine and pointed with minimal bracketing, giving the outlines a crisp, engraved feel. Curves are taut and slightly sculpted, with small apertures and tight joins that keep the texture refined at display sizes. Overall spacing reads compact and controlled, producing an elegant, rhythmic stripe pattern across words.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its hairline details can stay crisp. It also works well for premium packaging and event materials that benefit from a formal, high-fashion voice; for longer text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous line spacing.
The tone is polished and theatrical, balancing classical refinement with a bold, modern editorial edge. It projects luxury and confidence, with enough sharpness to feel fashionable rather than purely traditional.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, couture-like serif voice built on extreme thick–thin contrast and disciplined verticality. Its character details and compact rhythm aim to create instant sophistication and strong visual hierarchy in display typography.
The alphabet shows delicate details in the hooks and terminals (notably in letters like J, Q, g, y), which add character but also make the design feel more display-oriented. Numerals match the same high-contrast logic, with narrow forms and prominent thick–thin transitions.
