A high-contrast serif with striking thick-to-thin modulation, crisp hairline serifs, and an overall narrow, vertical posture. Stems are strong and straight, with fine crossbars and delicate, tapering terminals that stay clean rather than calligraphic. Curves in letters like C, G, and S show a controlled vertical stress, while diagonals (V, W, X) are sharp and disciplined. Numerals echo the same contrast and elegance, with thin connecting strokes and prominent thick verticals.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and display typography where its contrast and narrow rhythm can create a polished, upscale look. It works particularly well for magazine layouts, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster-style typography where crisp detail is an asset.
The font reads as refined and assertive, pairing elegance with a slightly dramatic, high-fashion edge. Its sharp hairlines and compressed rhythm give it a poised, editorial tone that feels premium and intentional rather than casual.
Designed to deliver a modern, editorial interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif, emphasizing elegance, verticality, and sharp detail for attention-grabbing display use. The controlled forms and consistent stress suggest an aim for a premium, contemporary voice rather than a warm, old-style text feel.
In text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes. The narrow proportions help titles and short lines feel compact and structured, while the contrast draws attention to vertical strokes and punctuation details.
