A delicate serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical build. Hairline serifs and cross-strokes contrast with fuller stems, creating a crisp, engraved rhythm that stays clean in both capitals and lowercase. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with generous counters and a controlled, even cadence; curves are smooth and taut, while joints remain sharp and minimally supported. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing slender details with bold verticals for a polished, display-leaning color.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and short passages where its sharp contrast can be appreciated, such as magazine layouts, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and event materials. It can work for body copy at larger sizes in well-spaced settings where hairlines won’t be visually overwhelmed.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a fashion/editorial sensibility and a quiet sense of authority. Its sharp hairlines and stately proportions suggest formality and precision rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial take on classical high-contrast serif letterforms—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a luxurious page presence for display-focused typography.
In the text sample, the fine horizontals and serifs contribute sparkle and sophistication, while the heavier verticals keep lines from feeling anemic. The design reads especially well when given room—ample tracking and comfortable leading help preserve the airy, high-contrast texture.
