A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress, thick main stems, and extremely thin hairlines. Serifs are sharp and finely bracketed to unbracketed in feel, often tapering to needle-like points that create a crisp, engraved rhythm. Capitals are broad and stately with pronounced thick–thin transitions, while the lowercase keeps compact, rounded bowls and prominent ball terminals (notably on forms like a, c, f, and j). Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy verticals with delicate joins and angled terminals for a poised, display-oriented texture.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines can hold: magazine covers, editorial headlines, fashion and beauty campaigns, premium branding, and packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes and titling where a refined, high-impact serif texture is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, evoking couture editorial typography and classic high-end print. Its dramatic contrast and sculpted terminals feel ceremonial and premium, with a slightly theatrical flair that reads as confident rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice with emphatic contrast and crisp detailing, prioritizing visual drama and elegance over utilitarian neutrality. Its forms aim to create a luxurious, print-inspired presence that commands attention in display settings.
In text, the thin hairlines and sharp joins create bright sparkles and a lively cadence, especially around diagonals (V/W/X) and curved joins (S, C, G). The design’s delicacy in the thinnest strokes suggests it will look most stable when given enough size, spacing, and clean rendering conditions.
