A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis, razor-thin hairlines, and weight concentrated in the main stems. Serifs are fine and sharp, with minimal bracketing and a clean, cut-in feel at joins. Round letters show a clear vertical stress and tight, polished curves, while diagonals in V/W/X are slender and crisp. Proportions lean broad in many capitals, paired with a comparatively small x-height and tall ascenders that create an elegant, airy rhythm in text.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster titles where the contrast can be appreciated. It will also work for short pull quotes and large-size settings where the fine hairlines have enough room to stay distinct.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, with a fashion/editorial sensibility and a sense of ceremony. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted contrast project prestige and clarity, reading as classic and high-end rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic high-contrast serif voice—prioritizing elegance, vertical tension, and a crisp, engraved-like finish for premium editorial and brand presentation.
In the sample text, the thin strokes and serifs become a defining texture at larger sizes, giving words a shimmering, high-contrast sparkle. Numerals appear similarly stylized, with delicate terminals and pronounced thick–thin transitions that align with the letterforms’ formal character.
