A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, finely tapered hairlines. Serifs are small and sharp with minimal bracketing, giving the forms a clean, polished edge and a distinctly vertical, formal rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly narrow in impression, while the lowercase maintains a measured x-height with delicate joins and strong stroke contrast. Curves in letters like C, G, and S show smooth, controlled transitions into thin terminals, and the numerals share the same bright, fashion-forward contrast and refined detailing.
Well-suited for magazine and book display settings such as headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and section openers where its contrast can shine. It also fits luxury-oriented branding applications—logos, invitations, beauty and fashion packaging—where refined hairlines and sharp serifs communicate premium positioning.
The overall tone is sophisticated and luxe, evoking modern editorial typography and high-end branding. Its dramatic contrast and precise finishing read as confident, poised, and intentionally stylish rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice: dramatic contrast, controlled geometry, and crisp terminals optimized for impactful display typography. It prioritizes elegance and visual authority through vertical stress and meticulous hairline detailing.
At text sizes the hairlines and fine serifs create a bright, shimmering texture, especially in dense paragraphs. The design emphasizes verticality and crisp detail, so it benefits from generous size, careful spacing, and clean reproduction.
