This serif shows an extreme thick–thin rhythm with vertical stress: strong, dark main stems contrast with very fine hairlines and delicate serifs. Curves are sleek and tightly drawn, with crisp joins and sharp, tapering terminals that keep counters open despite the contrast. Proportions read on the wider side in capitals, while overall spacing feels measured and airy, letting the thin strokes breathe. The italics are absent in the samples shown; the design reads as a clean, upright roman with a distinctly modern, high-contrast silhouette.
It will perform best in display contexts such as magazine headlines, mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and large-format posters where the fine hairlines can print cleanly. It can also work for short pull quotes or elegant titling, but sustained small-size reading will demand careful sizing and production to preserve the delicate strokes.
The tone is polished and dramatic, conveying a high-end, editorial sensibility. Its razor-thin details and bold vertical strokes create a sense of glamour and precision, with a cool, contemporary refinement rather than a warm, bookish feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice that feels premium and attention-grabbing, pairing sculpted curves with precise hairlines for strong visual hierarchy in headline typography.
In text, the font produces a lively shimmer from the alternating thick and hairline strokes, especially around rounded letters and diagonals. The boldness of verticals can dominate at smaller sizes, while the hairlines become a defining feature at display sizes and in high-quality reproduction.
