A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketless hairline serifs and strong vertical stress. Thick stems pair with extremely thin cross-strokes and joins, producing sharp light traps and a bright, engraved feel in counters. Proportions read slightly expansive, with generous capitals and rounded forms that stay clean and controlled; curves terminate in fine points, and diagonals (as in V, W, X, Y) appear taut and carefully tapered. Lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with compact apertures and delicate entry/exit strokes, creating a sleek, fashion-forward rhythm in text.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and luxury branding, campaign posters, and premium packaging where its contrast can read cleanly. It can work for short bursts of editorial text at larger sizes, but the hairline details suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution reproduction.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, combining classical poise with a heightened, dramatic contrast that feels premium and assertive. It carries a sense of sophistication suited to curated, high-end contexts rather than utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classic serif forms, prioritizing striking contrast, crisp finishing, and a refined silhouette for impactful editorial and brand-led typography.
In the sample text, the extreme thins and small internal details create striking sparkle at display sizes, while dense paragraphs emphasize the font’s sharp rhythm and tight, sculpted joins. Figures appear similarly stylized, with pronounced contrast and elegant curvature that matches the letterforms.
