A sharply contrasted serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions, vertical stress, and very fine hairlines. Serifs are delicate and crisp, with minimal bracketing and a clean, modern finish. Capitals are tall and stately with generous counters and smooth, controlled curves, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward rhythm with compact, precise terminals. The overall color on the page alternates between strong vertical strokes and whisper-thin connecting strokes, creating a bright, airy texture at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, large-scale editorial typography, and brand applications where a high-contrast serif can signal premium positioning. It works well for magazine titles, pull quotes, invitations, and posters, especially when set with ample size and breathing room.
The typeface conveys a polished, luxurious tone associated with fashion and cultural publishing. Its dramatic contrast and refined detailing feel formal and contemporary, with an intentional sense of sophistication and restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif: strong verticals, razor-thin details, and clean, controlled proportions for impactful display typography.
In the sample text, the thin hairlines and sharp joins become a defining feature, giving text a sparkling, high-end look but also making spacing and line breaks feel visually prominent. Round letters and numerals show a consistent vertical emphasis, and the design’s crispness rewards generous size and careful layout.
