A high-contrast serif with a strong vertical axis and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation. Stems are robust while hairlines and serifs taper to very fine points, creating a crisp, chiseled finish. Curves are taut and smoothly drawn, with small, sharp entry/exit terminals and minimal apparent bracketing. Proportions feel compact and column-like, with tall capitals, a relatively restrained x-height, and narrow apertures that keep text looking sleek and controlled. Numerals and punctuation follow the same refined contrast and razor-thin detailing, producing a consistent, polished rhythm in both display and larger text settings.
Best suited to fashion and lifestyle editorial design, magazine headlines, luxury and beauty branding, and high-end packaging where sharp contrast can read as premium. It also works well for posters, invitations, and short, prominent typographic statements where its fine hairlines and sculpted serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. The extreme refinement of the hairlines and the controlled verticality give it a couture, gallery-catalog feeling—formal, stylish, and intentionally dramatic without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on classic high-contrast serif principles: vertical emphasis, razor-fine detailing, and a streamlined, narrow footprint that reads as sophisticated and upscale in display typography.
In the sample text, the spacing and rhythm emphasize vertical strokes and crisp joins, giving lines a clean, high-end cadence. The font’s very fine details and sharp serifs create a sparkling texture at larger sizes, while the narrow interior spaces and tight counters contribute to a disciplined, tailored look.
