A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis and razor-thin hairlines against full, sturdy stems. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, with crisp, clean joins and a polished, engraved feel. The uppercase shows stately proportions with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and needle-like horizontals, while the lowercase keeps a compact, readable rhythm with elegant arches and narrow entry/exit strokes. Numerals match the display character, with bold mains and delicate finishing strokes that reward larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, large-format editorial typography, and premium brand systems where high contrast can shine. It works well for magazine titles, fashion and beauty campaigns, upscale packaging, and formal invitations; for extended small text it will benefit from ample size, careful color/ink gain control, and comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone is sophisticated and fashion-forward, conveying prestige and formality with a distinctly editorial sheen. Its dramatic contrast and crisp detailing feel ceremonial and high-end, suited to settings where elegance and authority are more important than warmth.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast display serif that channels classic engraved and fashion magazine typography. Its purpose is to deliver a confident, refined voice with striking thick–thin rhythm and crisp finishing details.
At text sizes the hairlines and fine crossbars become the dominant stylistic signal, producing a bright, sparkling texture and noticeable stroke modulation. Round letters show a clear vertical stress, and the design maintains consistent contrast behavior across caps, lowercase, and figures.
