A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions, crisp hairlines, and a largely vertical stress. Serifs are fine and sharp with a clean, contemporary finish, and the overall construction feels compact and controlled rather than loose or calligraphic. Uppercase forms read stately and structured, while lowercase shows elegant modulation with delicate joins and tapered terminals; the numerals echo the same dramatic contrast and refined detailing.
Best suited to display typography where contrast and hairlines can shine: magazine headlines, fashion and culture editorial, brand wordmarks, premium packaging, and large-format posters. It can also work for short pull quotes or section titles where a refined, high-impact serif voice is desired.
The tone is polished and upscale, with a dramatic elegance that reads as contemporary luxury. Its razor-thin details and sculpted curves give it a poised, editorial voice—confident, formal, and visually striking without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver modern, high-fashion elegance through extreme contrast, precise serifs, and disciplined proportions. It prioritizes visual drama and sophistication for display-led typography while maintaining a clean, contemporary finish.
In the sample text, rhythm and spacing support smooth reading at display sizes, while the finest strokes become a defining feature of the texture. Round letters show clean ovals and controlled contrast, and angled forms (like V/W) feel sharp and precise, reinforcing a crisp, high-end impression.
