A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and strong, sculpted main strokes. Serifs are thin and crisp with a mostly unbracketed, modern feel, and many joins resolve into pointed wedges or knife-like terminals. The curves are smooth and generously rounded, while counters stay relatively open, creating a bold light–dark rhythm that reads as polished and deliberate. Lowercase shows pronounced modulation, frequent ball terminals (notably in forms like a, c, f, g), and a single-story a; figures mix sturdy verticals with delicate hairline details, keeping the overall texture elegant but assertive.
Best suited to display sizes where the high contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, posters, and book or album covers. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when paired with ample spacing and a calmer text companion.
The tone is upscale and editorial, with a dramatic runway-like contrast that signals sophistication and formality. Its sharp terminals and glossy stroke transitions evoke fashion, art direction, and classic print refinement rather than utilitarian text color.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif styling: bold, elegant shapes for attention-grabbing typography, with refined hairlines and stylish terminals that add a couture editorial character.
In the sample text, the letterforms create a lively sparkle from the hairlines and sharp terminals, while the wide proportions and strong vertical emphasis keep headlines stable and imposing. Distinctive details—like the ball terminals and pointed joins—add personality without pushing into overt novelty.
