A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and weighty main strokes, built on largely vertical stress and clean, tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and crisp, with minimal bracketing, producing a polished, precise silhouette in both capitals and lowercase. Proportions are relatively narrow-to-moderate with generous ascenders and deeper descenders, giving the text a stately vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the figures follow the same contrast logic, mixing thick stems with delicate connecting strokes for a consistent, dressy texture.
Best suited to display applications such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and high-end brand identities where the fine details can be appreciated. It also works well for invitations and packaging that benefit from a formal, polished voice; for long passages, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with ample spacing.
The overall tone is luxurious and formal, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-oriented feel. Its dramatic contrast and razor-like detailing convey sophistication and ceremony rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice—prioritizing dramatic contrast, crisp detailing, and elegant vertical rhythm for standout typography in branded and editorial settings.
At larger sizes the hairlines and thin serifs read as crisp and sculptural, while in continuous text the contrast creates a lively shimmer that emphasizes word shapes and vertical rhythm. Round letters (like O/Q) and diagonal forms (like V/W/Y) retain strong structural clarity despite the delicate thin strokes.
