A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, crisp hairline horizontals, and strong thick–thin modulation. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered with minimal bracketing, giving terminals a clean, chiseled finish. Proportions read slightly expanded, with generous caps and open counters that keep large sizes airy while emphasizing the dramatic stroke contrast. Numerals and capitals carry a formal, display-oriented rhythm with clear, straight stems and carefully controlled curves.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book titling, fashion and beauty layouts, and other editorial applications where high contrast and sharp detailing can read clearly. It can also support brand marks and refined packaging when used at display sizes or with ample spacing.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, projecting a sense of luxury and formality. Its sharp hairlines and poised construction suggest a composed, high-end voice suited to curated, image-conscious typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classic, high-fashion serif voice through dramatic stroke modulation, vertical emphasis, and precise hairline detailing. It prioritizes elegance and visual impact over neutrality, aiming for a premium, editorial presence.
In running text, the extreme contrast creates a sparkling texture and distinct letterforms, especially in round shapes and diagonals. The design feels most confident where its fine horizontals and tapered serifs have room to breathe, and it benefits from thoughtful sizing and spacing in denser settings.
