A sculptural high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and knife-thin hairlines set against heavy stems. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, with crisp terminals that create a clean, glossy edge. Uppercase forms are tall and stately with generous width and confident, display-oriented proportions, while the lowercase shows a comparatively small x-height and strong stroke modulation for a more refined, calligraphic rhythm. Round letters (O, Q, o, e) have taut, elegant curves and tight apertures; numerals follow the same contrast logic with bold main strokes and delicate connecting hairlines.
Best suited to display typography: magazine titles, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and high-impact editorial headlines. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes where contrast and elegance are desired, but its delicate hairlines suggest using comfortable sizes and spacing for clarity.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, projecting luxury and editorial authority. Its extreme contrast and sharp detailing give it a high-fashion, headline-forward voice that feels formal, confident, and slightly dramatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-contrast serif voice for premium display use, emphasizing dramatic thick–thin modulation, crisp serifs, and a formal, editorial silhouette.
At larger sizes the hairlines read as precise and glamorous; in denser settings they can visually sparkle and create a strong light–dark texture. The lively width shifts between letters add a rhythmic, curated feel typical of display serifs.
