A high-contrast serif with striking thick–thin modulation, vertical stress, and razor-fine hairlines that sharpen into delicate, largely unbracketed serifs. The curves are sculpted and slightly calligraphic, with tapered terminals and glossy-looking bowls that create a strong light–dark rhythm. Proportions lean classical with a moderate x-height, while capitals feel stately and wide enough to read as display-forward without looking condensed. Numerals and punctuation follow the same dramatic contrast, keeping the overall texture crisp and elegant in setting text.
Best suited for display typography: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, posters, and elegant titles. It can work for short bursts of text (deck copy, pull quotes) when set large with comfortable leading, but it is most convincing where its contrast and hairline detailing can be appreciated.
The tone is polished and theatrical, with a couture/editorial attitude that reads premium and intentionally attention-grabbing. Its sharp hairlines and bold verticals convey sophistication, confidence, and a slightly decadent, magazine-luxury feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif, prioritizing elegance, visual drama, and a luxurious print-like sheen. Its crisp hairlines and emphatic thick strokes suggest a focus on high-end editorial and brand expression rather than utilitarian, small-size reading.
In paragraph-like samples, the contrast creates a pronounced sparkle and a lively baseline rhythm, especially where thin joins meet heavy stems. The design rewards generous sizes and spacing, where the hairlines can stay clean and the letterforms’ sculptural details remain visible.
