A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline details. Serifs are fine and sharply cut, with a predominantly vertical stress in rounded forms and a clean, upright posture. Proportions feel generous and open, with broad capitals and smooth, rounded bowls balanced by narrow hairline connections. Curves terminate in pointed, knife-like ends on letters such as C, S, and a, while joins and stems remain straight and controlled, producing a polished, print-like rhythm.
Best suited for display settings such as magazine headlines, editorial titling, fashion branding, and refined poster typography where its contrast and hairlines can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages, quotes, and opening spreads when set with sufficient size and breathing room.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, projecting a fashion/editorial sensibility with a classic, formal undercurrent. Its bright, high-contrast sparkle reads as luxurious and deliberate rather than casual, lending a sense of ceremony and refinement to headings and pull quotes.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, high-end interpretation of traditional high-contrast serif typography. It emphasizes crisp finishing, vertical emphasis, and spacious proportions to create an elevated, attention-grabbing voice for modern editorial and brand applications.
In text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a lively, shimmering texture, while the sturdy verticals keep forms stable. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes that match the letterforms’ sharp terminals.
