A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis and very fine hairlines. Thick stems meet razor-thin connecting strokes, producing a crisp, polished rhythm that reads distinctly “modern serif” in silhouette. Serifs are sharp and refined with minimal bracketing, and terminals often end in tapered, knife-like points. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively open, and the overall color on the page alternates between bold verticals and delicate filigree details that become more pronounced at larger sizes.
Best suited to editorial and display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion or beauty branding, luxury packaging, and cultural/event posters. It can work for short text blocks in high-quality print or on high-resolution screens, where its hairlines and sharp serifs remain clear.
The tone is sophisticated and formal, with a dramatic, high-fashion feel. Its pronounced contrast and sharp finishing give it a premium, editorial voice—poised, confident, and a bit theatrical rather than casual or utilitarian.
Likely drawn to deliver a contemporary, couture-inspired serif voice built around dramatic contrast and vertical stress. The design prioritizes elegance and impact, aiming for a refined, upscale presence in titles and branding rather than a purely text-optimized workhorse.
In text, the hairline horizontals and joins create a refined sparkle, while the heavier verticals keep lines from feeling anemic. The most delicate strokes look intentionally slender, suggesting best performance where reproduction is clean and sizes are not too small. Figures and capitals carry the same contrast-driven logic, keeping the set visually cohesive for display typography.
