A high-contrast serif with prominent thick verticals and extremely fine hairlines, producing a crisp light–dark rhythm. Serifs are delicate and minimally bracketed, with sharp, elegant joins and pointed apexes on letters like A and V. Several capitals feature stylized internal cut-ins and split strokes that create a semi-stenciled, two-tone feel (notably in C, G, O, and Q), while the lowercase mixes sturdy stems with airy bowls and thin entry strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with slender curves and occasional dramatic thinning, giving the set a polished, display-forward texture.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and high-impact campaign graphics. It also works well for short editorial pull quotes and title treatments where its hairline details and distinctive interior cuts can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical—poised between classic editorial elegance and modern fashion minimalism. The extreme contrast and ornamental cut-ins add a sense of drama and exclusivity, making the typography feel curated and attention-grabbing rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif through a contemporary, graphic lens—amplifying vertical stress and hairline finesse while adding signature internal cut-ins for instant recognizability in branding and editorial settings.
In text settings, the strong contrast creates striking word shapes and a lively sparkle, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines and interior cuts read cleanly. The design’s distinctive internal shading/cut treatment becomes a key identifying feature, giving headings a graphic, poster-like presence even without additional styling.
