A high-contrast serif with hairline brackets and sharp, clean terminals, pairing thick vertical stems with extremely fine connecting strokes. The letterforms are upright and composed, with generous proportions and a stately, open rhythm that reads especially well at display sizes. Curves are smooth and controlled, with pointed joins and delicately tapered strokes; counters stay relatively open despite the contrast. The numerals and capitals feel similarly sculpted, maintaining a consistent calligraphic stress and a polished, print-like finish.
Best suited for magazine mastheads, headlines, and sophisticated brand identities where high contrast can be showcased. It also fits premium packaging, beauty and fashion applications, and formal invitations, particularly when set with ample spacing and strong typographic hierarchy.
The overall tone is elegant and poised, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its dramatic contrast and crisp detailing give it a luxurious, fashion-forward character, while the restrained construction keeps it formal rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast display serifs, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a refined page color. It aims to communicate prestige and modern editorial style through extreme stroke modulation and precise finishing.
In text settings the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a shimmering texture, emphasizing vertical rhythm. The design’s refinement is most apparent in large sizes where the razor-thin details and sharp transitions have room to breathe.
