A high-contrast serif with an elegant, vertical rhythm and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. The design pairs sturdy, near-monoline vertical stems with very thin cross-strokes and tapered joins, producing a distinctly calligraphic-influenced, modern serif silhouette. Serifs are fine and sharp, often bracketless or minimally bracketed, and many terminals resolve into needle-like points. Curves are smooth and taut, with round forms that feel slightly compressed and disciplined; the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with long ascenders and descenders for a stately text color.
Well-suited to editorial typography, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury identity systems, and premium packaging where high contrast can shine. It also works for invitations and formal materials that benefit from a refined, classic-modern voice; for extended reading, it will be most comfortable when printed well or used at generous sizes.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrasts and precise details read as premium and ceremonial, lending a sense of sophistication and formality to headlines and carefully set text.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-forward interpretation of classic modern serifs: maximizing contrast and sharp detailing while keeping proportions and spacing controlled for composed, elegant setting.
The sample text shows the face maintaining a clean baseline and consistent spacing while preserving delicate hairlines that will be most visible at larger sizes or in high-resolution reproduction. Numerals share the same contrast and refinement, with thin internal strokes and sculpted curves that match the capitals’ poise.
