A sharply drawn serif with strong thick–thin modulation and an overall vertical stress. Stems are robust while connecting strokes and horizontals drop to near-hairline thickness, creating crisp, high-definition counters and a tight rhythm. Serifs are fine and tapered, with pointed, knife-like terminals and occasional spur-like details that add bite to the silhouettes. Proportions run on the condensed side with tall capitals, compact lowercase, and numerals that maintain the same high-contrast logic for a unified text-and-display palette.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster titles where the contrast and sharp details can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing and adequate size.
The tone is elegant and high-drama, with a polished, runway/editorial feel. Its precise hairlines and sharp terminals convey sophistication and exclusivity, while the contrast gives headlines a confident, attention-grabbing presence.
The type appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif forms, prioritizing elegance and impact in display settings while keeping conventional letter structures for familiar readability.
The design leans on clean vertical structure with minimal curvature weight, so small changes in stroke thickness become a primary part of the texture. In larger sizes the hairlines read as delicate and luxurious, while in denser settings the contrast produces a sparkling, assertive typographic color.
