A high-contrast serif with a strongly vertical construction and knife-thin hairlines set against dense, weighty stems. Serifs are sharp and fine, with minimal bracketing, producing crisp terminals and an overall cut-paper precision. Counters tend to be compact and teardrop-like in places, with pronounced thick–thin modulation that gives letters a sculpted, chiseled feel. The lowercase shows a relatively modest x-height and lively, calligraphic detail in joins and terminals, while caps feel commanding and display-oriented.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, luxury branding, and premium packaging where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can work for short paragraphs at larger sizes, but it will be most comfortable when given generous spacing and solid reproduction conditions.
The tone is elegant and dramatic, with a couture/editorial sensibility and a sense of formality. Its stark contrast and pointed details create a refined but attention-seeking voice that reads as premium and curated rather than casual.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, high-fashion take on classic high-contrast serif letterforms, prioritizing drama, refinement, and striking silhouettes for display typography.
In continuous text, the sharp serifs and extreme stroke modulation generate a sparkling texture and strong word-shape silhouettes. Numerals and punctuation share the same high-contrast logic, giving headlines and short statements a cohesive, polished impact.
