This serif features pronounced thick–thin modulation with hairline horizontals and finely tapered, sharp serifs. The overall construction favors tall, stately proportions with a steady vertical emphasis, giving capitals a formal, display-ready presence while keeping a consistent baseline rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, with thin joins and delicate terminals that stay crisp even in tighter forms. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, pairing sturdy vertical stems with very fine cross-strokes for a polished, contemporary look.
Best suited to magazine titles, fashion and beauty branding, and other high-end editorial contexts where large sizes can showcase its crisp contrast. It also performs well for elegant headlines, display typography in posters, and refined brand wordmarks where a sleek, premium voice is desired.
The tone is poised and luxurious, with a runway/editorial sensibility and a slightly dramatic sparkle from its hairline details. It reads as premium and composed rather than rustic or friendly, projecting confidence, formality, and modern refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif with dramatic contrast and precise finishing, prioritizing sophistication and visual impact in display and editorial settings.
In extended text the hairline strokes and fine serifs create a bright, airy texture and a strong black–white interplay, especially in large sizes. The design’s delicate crossbars and thin connections suggest it will look most at home when given generous size and clean reproduction.
