A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and vertical stress, pairing sturdy main stems with very fine hairlines and serifs. The proportions read generously wide with open counters, while joins stay clean and largely unbracketed, giving strokes a crisp, chiseled feel. Serifs are thin and precise, and many curves taper into needle-like terminals; the overall rhythm alternates between bold verticals and delicate connecting strokes for a striking, print-oriented texture.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty editorial, brand marks, and refined poster titles. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headings where its delicate hairlines have room to breathe and its contrast can be appreciated.
The font conveys a polished, upscale tone with strong editorial drama. Its razor-thin details and emphatic contrasts suggest sophistication and ceremony, balancing classic formality with a contemporary, high-fashion edge.
Designed to deliver a modern take on classic high-contrast serif construction, emphasizing elegance and visual impact. The intent appears focused on creating a premium, attention-grabbing voice for display use while maintaining a disciplined, traditional serif skeleton.
In the sample text, the heavy verticals dominate at display sizes, while the hairlines become a defining detail that benefits from ample size and contrasty settings. Figures appear similarly contrasty and stylized, aligning with the typeface’s refined, showpiece character.
