A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and extremely fine hairlines, producing a crisp, black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are thin and sharp with minimal bracketing, and many joins resolve into needle-like points and tapered cuts. Counters tend to be tight and sculpted, with vertical stress evident in round forms like O and C. The overall texture alternates between bold verticals and delicate connecting strokes, giving the letters a chiseled, display-oriented presence.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and other large-size typography where the hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It can elevate branding, beauty/fashion layouts, and premium packaging, and works well for short bursts of text where a refined, high-drama voice is desired.
The design reads polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward tone. Its dramatic contrast and razor details feel glamorous and assertive, while the upright stance keeps it formal and composed.
Likely designed to deliver maximum elegance and contrast in display typography, combining classic serif structure with sharpened, modern detailing for standout editorial and brand use.
Several characters show stylized, blade-like thinning where strokes meet (notably in diagonals and at some terminals), which heightens sparkle at large sizes but increases fragility in dense settings. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with slender hairlines and prominent verticals that emphasize a modern, high-impact look.
