A high-contrast serif with a pronounced thick–thin rhythm, vertical stress, and extremely fine hairlines in the serifs and joins. Capitals are stately and slightly condensed in feel, with sharp wedge-like entries and long, delicate serifs that create a crisp, chiselled silhouette. The lowercase shows compact, controlled forms with a two-storey a and g, a narrow, upright stance, and cleanly cut terminals that emphasize the contrast. Numerals follow the same dramatic modulation, with slender connecting strokes and fuller bowls that read well at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other large-size applications where its hairline details can be appreciated. It fits fashion and lifestyle editorial, luxury branding, premium packaging, and event or cultural posters where a refined, high-impact serif is desired.
The overall tone is polished and glamorous, projecting a premium, editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and clean, poised detailing feel modern-classic—confident, cultured, and suited to dramatic typographic moments.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a modern, high-contrast serif—optimized for elegant display typography with a strong vertical rhythm and a distinctly polished finish.
In text settings, the hairlines and serifs create a bright, sparkling texture that benefits from generous size and comfortable spacing. The design’s crisp joins and narrow internal apertures can look especially striking in headlines, where the contrast and vertical rhythm are most apparent.
