A high-contrast serif with hairline connectors and strongly emphasized vertical stems, producing a crisp, engraved rhythm. Serifs are sharp and tapered rather than blocky, with pointed terminals and thin, needle-like entry/exit strokes in places. The overall build is narrow and tall, with tight internal counters in several letters and a distinctly vertical stress that reads cleanly in display sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender joins and prominent thick–thin transitions.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other prominent display settings where its contrast and narrow proportions can read as intentional and premium. It can work for branding and packaging when used at larger sizes with comfortable tracking, while longer passages benefit from careful size and spacing choices to preserve the hairline details.
The tone is poised and dramatic, leaning toward luxury and editorial sophistication. Its sharpness and contrast give it a couture, print-magazine feel with a slightly theatrical edge, more about impact and refinement than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice—prioritizing elegance, verticality, and striking thick–thin contrast for attention-grabbing typography in editorial and brand-facing contexts.
In the text sample, spacing and joins create a lively sparkle—thin strokes can visually recede while the heavy verticals dominate, increasing the sense of rhythm. Curved letters show pronounced thinning at the extremes, and several forms feel intentionally sculpted rather than purely utilitarian.
