This serif presents a tall, narrow silhouette with pronounced contrast between thick stems and hairline strokes. Serifs are fine and sharp, with crisp bracket transitions kept minimal, and many terminals end in tapered, knife-like points. Curves show a largely vertical stress and a smooth, controlled rhythm, while joins and shoulders remain compact to preserve a tight, vertical texture. Numerals and capitals echo the same high-contrast construction, giving headlines a sculpted, glossy look.
This font is well suited to magazine and editorial headlines, mastheads, and pull quotes where high contrast can be shown at generous sizes. It also fits luxury branding applications such as cosmetics, fragrance, jewelry, and premium packaging, as well as posters and book jackets that benefit from a refined, dramatic serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its sharp, high-contrast detailing adds drama and a sense of exclusivity, suited to contemporary fashion or premium branding contexts. The narrow proportions and clean stance keep it poised and formal rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classical serif: narrow, highly contrasted, and visually polished for striking titling. It prioritizes elegance and impact through sharp detailing and a disciplined vertical rhythm, aiming for a premium, editorial presence.
In running sample text, the thin connecting strokes and hairline serifs become a defining feature, creating a bright, delicate sparkle at larger sizes. The lowercase shows a classical book-serif underpinning but with a more fashion-forward refinement, and the figures feel designed to harmonize with the display-like contrast and verticality.
