This typeface is a high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical axis. Stems are broad and confident while connecting strokes and hairlines become extremely fine, creating a crisp, etched texture. Serifs are sharp and delicate with little visible bracketing, and terminals often end in tapered points or small teardrop-like finishes. Proportions lean elegant and display-oriented, with generous curves in rounds and tightly controlled joins that emphasize clean, sculpted silhouettes across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display applications such as magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and statement headlines where its contrast and fine serifs can be rendered cleanly. It also works well for posters and large-format editorial typography where the dramatic thick–thin rhythm is a feature, not a liability.
The overall tone is polished and high-fashion, projecting sophistication and drama through extreme contrast and razor-fine detailing. It feels classical and premium, with a poised, gallery-like restraint that reads as formal and editorial. The sharpness of serifs and hairlines adds a sense of precision and exclusivity.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, display-focused take on classical high-contrast serif forms, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and visual drama. Its letterforms aim to create a premium, editorial voice while maintaining consistent structure and a controlled, vertical-stress rhythm.
In text settings, the hairlines and tight interior details become visually prominent, producing a sparkling rhythm that favors larger sizes and high-quality reproduction. Some glyphs show expressive, calligraphic-like flicks (notably in a few lowercase and numerals), adding personality without shifting away from the refined, vertical-stress model.
