This typeface is a refined display serif built around extreme thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Stems are bold and columnar, while connecting strokes and serifs drop to razor-thin hairlines, creating sharp sparkle at joins and terminals. Letterforms are generously wide with large, open counters and a disciplined baseline rhythm; capitals feel monumental and slightly condensed in their internal spacing despite the overall breadth. The lowercase has a noticeably small x-height with tall ascenders, a two-storey g, and crisp, tapered details that emphasize the contrast without adding softness or heavy bracketing.
Best suited to large-size typography such as magazine headlines, mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and high-impact posters. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or section openers where its contrast and wide proportions can breathe.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical—more runway and magazine masthead than everyday text. Its stark contrast and polished silhouettes suggest luxury, sophistication, and a contemporary editorial sensibility with a classic foundation.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum elegance and contrast-driven drama, pairing classic serif cues with a clean, modern finish. It prioritizes striking silhouettes and high-end presence, optimized for display settings where hairline details can be appreciated.
In the sample text, the hairlines and delicate serifs become a defining feature, especially in dense settings where the bold verticals create strong striping and the thin strokes add a shimmering texture. The numerals mirror the same high-contrast construction, reading confidently at display sizes while retaining fine, precise detailing.
