A refined display serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress. Stems are sturdy while hairlines taper to very fine terminals, creating crisp, high-definition letterforms. Serifs are small and sharp with minimal bracketing, and curves resolve into pointed, calligraphic-like endings in places (notably in S, C, and G). Proportions feel classical with tall capitals, compact counters, and a steady baseline rhythm; spacing reads open enough for large sizes while retaining a tightly drawn, sculpted texture.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine titles, fashion and beauty layouts, premium brand identities, posters, and refined packaging. It also works well for pull quotes and section openers where its contrast and sharp finishing can be given room. For long text, it will perform most comfortably at larger sizes and in high-quality print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, projecting a fashion-editorial sensibility with a distinctly dramatic contrast. It feels poised and formal, with a cool precision that suggests premium branding, culture, and contemporary luxury communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classical high-contrast serif, emphasizing elegance, sharpness, and a sense of prestige. Its carefully controlled stress and crisp terminals aim to create visual drama and a luxe editorial texture in prominent typographic roles.
The type relies on delicate hairlines and fine details that create sparkle in headlines but can become fragile at small sizes or in low-resolution reproduction. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin joins that harmonize well with the uppercase.
