This serif shows razor-thin hairlines against dominant thick stems, producing a crisp, high-drama rhythm. The letterforms are upright with vertical stress and sharply cut, unbracketed serifs that taper into needle-like points on many strokes. Counters and bowls feel sculpted and slightly calligraphic in their modulation, while joins stay clean and precise. The lowercase features compact, rounded forms with distinctive, elegant curves (notably in a, g, e, and s), and the numerals match the same bold-to-hairline swing with crisp, refined endpoints.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and large pull quotes where the extreme contrast and hairline detailing can shine. It also fits premium branding and packaging, especially where a refined, fashion-forward voice is needed. For longer passages, it will perform most confidently in spacious settings and larger sizes where fine strokes remain clear.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a runway/editorial feel that reads as premium and intentionally dramatic. Its contrast and sharp detailing suggest sophistication and exclusivity rather than casual friendliness, evoking high-end publishing and brand worlds.
The design appears intended as a contemporary high-contrast serif for impactful, upscale display typography—balancing strict vertical structure with elegantly carved curves to deliver a polished editorial presence.
At display sizes the hairlines read as delicate accents that heighten the sense of craft, while in dense text the contrast becomes the main visual signature. The design keeps a disciplined, vertical cadence, but introduces lively curvature in bowls and terminals that prevents it from feeling purely mechanical.
