A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, thick main stems, and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate with minimal bracketing, giving the outlines a crisp, cut-paper feel. Proportions are elegant and slightly varied across glyphs, with narrow interior joins and taut curves that stay controlled even in round letters. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with long, clean ascenders/descenders, while the overall rhythm emphasizes verticality and thin connecting strokes.
This design is best suited to display applications such as magazine mastheads, editorial headlines, luxury branding, beauty and fashion packaging, and high-impact posters. It will especially shine in larger sizes where the hairlines and sharp serifs can remain crisp and intentional.
The font communicates a polished, high-fashion tone—cool, poised, and intentionally dramatic. Its razor-thin details and sculpted forms evoke luxury publishing and premium branding, reading as confident and sophisticated rather than casual or friendly.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and visual drama. Its construction suggests an emphasis on premium editorial presence and brand-level refinement over utilitarian text settings.
At larger sizes the hairline elements and fine serifs become a defining feature, while in dense settings they visually recede, making the heavier verticals dominate. The numerals and capitals show the same contrast-driven construction, with clear, elegant silhouettes suited to display typography.
