A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered stems and fine hairline serifs that read as crisp and elegant at display sizes. The forms show smooth, calligraphic transitions between thick and thin, with pointed terminals and delicately bracketed serifs that keep the silhouettes lively. Uppercase proportions feel tall and authoritative, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable x-height with narrow joins and tightly controlled curves. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with prominent thick-thin modulation and compact, polished shapes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short text in magazines, lookbooks, and brand systems where a polished, high-end voice is desired. It also works well for posters, invitations, and pull quotes where the dramatic contrast can be given room to breathe.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, projecting an editorial, fashion-forward confidence. Its sharp contrast and clean finishing details convey luxury and sophistication rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast take on a classic serif voice, prioritizing elegance and impact in display and editorial contexts while keeping proportions disciplined for structured typography.
Round letters display pronounced stress and razor-thin connecting strokes, creating bright internal counters and a strong black–white rhythm. In text, the contrast produces a distinctly sparkling texture, and the punctuation and dots appear small and precise, reinforcing the crisp, upscale character.
