A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and razor-thin hairlines set against weighty main strokes. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with minimal bracketing and a clean, chiseled feel; curves are smooth and tightly controlled. Proportions lean tall and display-oriented, with pronounced thick–thin transitions and a slightly varied, characterful width across letters that creates a lively rhythm in headlines. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy bowls and crisp joins, and the numerals follow the same dramatic contrast with elegant, tapered details.
Best suited to large-size typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and culture editorial layouts, posters, and premium brand identities. It can also work for logotypes and short display lines where the hairlines and sharp serifs have room to render cleanly.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, evoking luxury publishing and high-end branding. Its extreme contrast and precise finishing read as refined and assertive, with a distinct editorial sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classical contrasted serif: maximizing drama through extreme thick–thin modulation while keeping the construction crisp, upright, and orderly for impactful display typography.
In the sample text, the font’s thin connecting strokes and hairline serifs become key visual features, giving an engraved, couture-like texture at larger sizes. The bold mass of capitals and rounded forms creates striking word-shapes, while tight internal counters and delicate terminals add sparkle and refinement.
