A high-contrast serif with strongly vertical stress and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The design pairs razor-thin hairlines and delicate, unbracketed serifs with confident, weighty vertical stems, producing a glossy, engraved look at display sizes. Italic forms are slanted with calligraphic energy: long, tapering entry/exit strokes, sharp joins, and lively curvature, especially visible in lowercase like a, e, g, and y. Proportions feel slightly condensed in capitals with ample interior counters, while spacing stays open enough to keep the dense contrast from clogging in words.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion or luxury branding, book covers, and elegant posters where the contrast can shine. It also works well for pull quotes and titling in editorial layouts, especially when the italic is used for emphasis or a more theatrical voice.
The overall tone is sophisticated and high-end, leaning toward fashion, magazine, and bookish elegance. Its sparkling contrast and refined detailing communicate formality and polish, with the italic adding a dramatic, expressive flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on classic high-contrast serifs, prioritizing visual drama and refinement. It aims for crisp elegance in large-scale settings, with an italic that provides expressive, calligraphic emphasis.
The numerals show the same extreme contrast and poised curves, reading as stylish and classic rather than utilitarian. At smaller sizes the hairlines and fine serifs are likely to become fragile, while at larger sizes the stroke modulation and italic swashes read as intentional, luxurious detail.
