A razor-sharp modern serif with strong vertical emphasis and dramatic thick–thin modulation. Stems are bold and straight while cross-strokes and serifs fall to hairline thickness, producing a crisp, luminous texture at display sizes. Serifs are fine and pointed with minimal bracketing, and many joins resolve into precise, needle-like terminals. The proportions feel classically informed with tall capitals and a moderate lowercase, while spacing stays open enough to keep large text airy despite the delicate details.
Best suited for headlines, magazine typography, and brand moments where elegance and contrast are desired—such as fashion, beauty, and premium product identities. It also works well for posters, invitations, and title treatments where the hairline details can be shown at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward presence. Its sharp contrast and clean geometry convey confidence and sophistication, leaning more toward luxury and drama than warmth or rusticity.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic modern-serif elegance with pronounced contrast and meticulous finishing, prioritizing visual drama and refinement for display and editorial settings.
In the samples, the hairlines and thin serifs become a defining visual feature, especially in diagonals and delicate curves; this gives the design a sparkling, formal look but also makes it feel more at home in larger sizes where the fine details can hold. The numerals and caps carry the same crisp, high-contrast rhythm, supporting a cohesive page color in headlines and pull quotes.
