This serif displays pronounced thick–thin modulation with a largely vertical stress and very fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and elegant, often ending in needle-like points, while the main stems stay confident and solid, creating a strong dark–light rhythm. Capitals feel expansive and stately, with generous interior space in round letters and crisp, tapered joins in diagonals. Lowercase forms are compact and controlled with a moderate x-height, narrow apertures in places, and a mix of straight, sturdy stems and finely cut curves that emphasize the contrast.
It is well suited to display typography where contrast and refined detail can be appreciated—magazine headlines, cover lines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and posters. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling in print layouts when set with comfortable spacing and sufficient size to preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is refined and high-drama, combining classic sophistication with a distinctly modern, fashion-oriented polish. Its sharp serifs and intense contrast project prestige and ceremony, reading as poised and confident rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a high-contrast serif for impactful display use, pairing strong vertical stems with delicate, razor-thin serifs to create an upscale, attention-grabbing voice. Its proportions and crisp finishing prioritize elegance and visual drama over purely utilitarian text performance.
In the text sample, the type creates a striking page color, with hairlines that add sparkle and sharpness around counters and serifs. The ampersand and punctuation follow the same crisp, high-contrast logic, supporting a consistent, upscale feel across headings and display-sized text.
