A high-contrast serif with a strong vertical axis and crisp, needle-fine hairlines set against robust vertical stems. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with clean, pointed terminals that give the outlines a precise, engraved feel. Round forms (O, C, Q, o, e) show a clear thick–thin modulation, while joins and apertures stay controlled and compact. Proportions lean toward tall capitals and a relatively moderate x-height, producing a clear hierarchy between uppercase and lowercase; numerals follow the same refined contrast and narrow hairline detailing.
Best suited to display and editorial settings where its contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated—magazine titles, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, and sophisticated packaging. It can also work for short-form text such as decks, quotes, or section openers when set generously and with careful attention to size and reproduction.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a poised, couture-like presence. Its dramatic contrast and fine detailing suggest sophistication and formality, lending an upscale, editorial voice to headlines and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif for premium visual identities and editorial typography, emphasizing elegance, precision, and striking thick–thin rhythm.
In the text sample, spacing and rhythm read orderly and composed, with a smooth baseline texture despite the extreme contrast. The design’s sharp hairlines and tapered strokes create a bright, high-end sparkle at larger sizes, while delicate details become the primary character note throughout.
