A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and smooth, swelling main strokes that taper into subtly flared terminals. Serifs are sharp and delicate, often appearing as fine wedges or lightly bracketed flicks rather than heavy slabs, giving the outlines a carved, calligraphic feel. The rhythm is tight and vertical with compact proportions; curves are clean and taut, and joins are controlled, producing an elegant, glossy page color at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same polished contrast and tapered finishing, keeping the set visually consistent.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, luxury branding, fashion and beauty packaging, and striking poster titles. It can work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes where the delicate hairlines and flared finishing have room to breathe, but it will be most impactful at larger sizes.
The overall tone is poised and premium, with a runway/editorial sensibility and a touch of drama from the extreme thick–thin modulation. It reads as sophisticated and curated—more about elegance and style than neutrality or warmth.
Designed to deliver a modern high-fashion serif voice: crisp, high-contrast letterforms with tapered, flared endings that create elegance and visual drama. The intent appears focused on premium display use, balancing sharp detail with controlled, vertical proportions for a polished, editorial look.
The thin connecting strokes and fine entry/exit hairlines create crisp detail that shines large, while small sizes may rely on generous spacing to avoid the hairlines feeling fragile. The italic is not shown; the sample emphasizes the upright’s refined contrast and clean baseline behavior.
