A high-contrast serif with prominent vertical stems, razor-thin hairlines, and crisp, mostly unbracketed serifs. The design leans on a vertical stress model with tight joins and sharp terminals, producing strong light–dark rhythm across words. Uppercase proportions feel stately and compact, while the lowercase shows a moderate x-height with refined, narrow counters and energetic curves. Figures mix sturdy verticals with delicate links and angled strokes, giving numerals a distinctly editorial, display-led presence.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titling, and brand marks where its contrast and fine details can reproduce cleanly. It works well for posters, invitations, and luxury-oriented packaging or campaigns, especially when set with generous size and careful spacing.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, delivering a sense of luxury and authority. Its stark contrast and sharp finishing create a runway/editorial mood that reads as confident, formal, and slightly dramatic rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a modern, fashion-forward take on classic high-contrast serif construction, prioritizing striking silhouettes and refined detail. Its emphasis on crisp hairlines and strong verticals suggests a focus on display typography for premium editorial and branding contexts.
Curved letters show pronounced thick–thin modulation, and the spacing looks engineered for headline impact with clear word shapes at large sizes. The italics are not shown; all samples present a consistent upright stance with a crisp, print-like finish.
