A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick-to-thin modulation and predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are fine and sharp, often hairline-like, with clean, minimally bracketed joins that create a crisp, chiseled finish. Round letters show taut, controlled curves with narrow apertures and delicate connecting strokes, while diagonals (V, W, X) maintain a sleek, polished rhythm. Lowercase forms keep a balanced, contemporary bookish proportion, with an elegant two-storey “g” and compact bowls that emphasize the contrast.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and other larger settings where the contrast and hairline serifs can be appreciated. It works well for magazine covers, fashion/editorial layouts, luxury branding, and elegant packaging. For extended reading sizes, it is most effective when given ample size and comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, evoking fashion and editorial typography. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted curves feel sophisticated and poised, with a dramatic, premium presence when set large. The texture reads as refined rather than warm, prioritizing elegance and visual impact.
The design appears intended as a modern high-contrast serif that delivers a couture, editorial look with crisp hairlines and sculptural forms. It aims to balance classical Didone-like drama with controlled proportions for contemporary layout use.
At display sizes the hairline details and razor serifs add a striking sparkle, especially in capitals and numerals. In longer text, the strong contrast and delicate connections create a lively rhythm but can appear more formal and attention-grabbing than utilitarian.
