A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered hairlines set against full-bodied stems, creating a crisp, dramatic rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and neatly cut, with pointed terminals and a distinctly calligraphic modulation visible across curves and diagonals. Uppercase forms feel stately and compact, while the lowercase shows lively shaping—particularly in the ear and terminals—without losing overall restraint. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast, with thin cross-strokes and generous curves that read cleanly at display sizes.
Well suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, and premium brand identities where sharp contrast and elegance are desirable. It can also work for invitations, posters, and pull quotes, especially when set with ample size and leading to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its dramatic contrast and precise details suggest luxury and tradition, projecting confidence and sophistication rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of classic serif letterforms, emphasizing dramatic contrast and crisp finishing for impactful display typography while remaining orderly enough for short passages.
The type shows a pronounced thick–thin axis and delicate join points that reward larger settings. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the design maintains a consistent, polished finish across letters and figures, giving text a composed, high-end texture.
