A refined modern serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strong vertical axis. Stems are sturdy while cross-strokes and connecting hairlines fall to very fine weights, producing a crisp, luminous rhythm. Serifs are small and sharp with minimal bracketing, and many forms show tapered, knife-like terminals. Uppercase proportions feel generous and display-oriented, while the lowercase is compact with a relatively low x-height and tight apertures in places, emphasizing contrast and silhouette over text neutrality. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate joins and sculpted curves.
Best suited to display sizes where its hairlines and sculpted contrast can reproduce cleanly—editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, invitations, and poster typography. It can work for short pull quotes or deck lines, but long paragraphs and small UI text may lose clarity due to the fine strokes and compact lowercase.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward feel. The dramatic contrast and fine detailing lend a sense of luxury and ceremony, making the voice feel formal, cultivated, and attention-seeking rather than utilitarian.
This design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on the classical high-contrast serif: crisp, authoritative, and visually striking. The combination of sharp serifs, controlled curves, and a compact lowercase suggests an emphasis on brand presence and editorial sophistication over all-purpose readability.
Curves are drawn with clean, controlled swelling and narrow transitions into hairlines, giving rounds (like O, C, and e) a sleek, cut-stone look. Diagonals in letters like V, W, and K read crisp and architectural, while the lowercase shows a mix of sharp entry/exit strokes and compact counters that can create a dense texture at smaller sizes.
