A high-contrast serif with prominent thick verticals and extremely fine hairline serifs and connecting strokes. The letterforms feel sculpted and editorial, with vertical stress, crisp unbracketed serifs, and sharp, clean joins that create a glossy black-and-white rhythm. Proportions lean tall with a relatively compact x-height, while curves in letters like C, G, O, and S show pronounced thick-to-thin modulation. The numerals follow the same display logic, mixing strong stems with delicate hairlines for an elegant but assertive texture.
Best suited to display roles where the contrast and hairline detailing can be appreciated: magazine mastheads, editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and event or cultural posters. It can work for short pull quotes or large-format titling, while extended small-size text would need careful size and reproduction conditions to preserve the delicate strokes.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, balancing classic bookish authority with modern fashion energy. The extreme contrast and sharp detailing read as premium and image-forward, suggesting sophistication, drama, and a curated, high-end sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver an editorial, high-fashion serif voice with maximum stroke contrast and crisp, modernized details. Its goal is to create impactful, premium typography that feels both classic in structure and contemporary in finish.
At larger sizes the hairlines and serifs become a defining feature, producing a sparkling, engraved look; in dense settings the thin strokes can visually recede, increasing the bold–hairline contrast and making spacing feel especially important. The design’s rhythm is driven by strong verticals, giving text a poised, columnar cadence.
