A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical, upright structure. Hairline strokes and needle-like serifs create a crisp silhouette, while broader main stems keep forms stable and formal. Many letters feature sculpted, tapered terminals and occasional wedge-like cuts, giving counters a slightly carved, decorative feel. Proportions read on the wide side with generous spacing and a relatively small x-height compared to the capitals, producing an elegant, airy rhythm in text.
Best suited to display typography: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, invitations, and poster titles. It can work for short editorial decks or pull quotes where its airy spacing and sharp contrast can be appreciated, rather than long continuous reading.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted details feel luxurious and curated, projecting sophistication and a slightly avant-garde edge rather than neutrality.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern take on classic contrast—combining traditional vertical stress with razor-fine detailing and stylized terminals. The intent reads as attention-grabbing elegance: a typeface meant to look expensive, precise, and distinctive in prominent, larger settings.
The design leans on strong verticals and delicate joining strokes, so the texture can look sparkling at display sizes and more brittle when reduced. Numerals and capitals maintain the same cut-and-taper logic, reinforcing a cohesive, high-style voice across headings and short lines.
