A delicate serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and a strongly vertical axis. Stems are tall and straight with razor-thin hairlines, while the serifs read as fine, unbracketed spikes and wedges. Curves are tight and controlled, with crisp joins and pointed terminals that give letters a carved, calligraphic edge. Capitals feel statuesque and formal, while the lowercase stays clean and readable with compact, upright forms and a restrained, traditional rhythm.
Best suited for display applications such as magazine mastheads, headlines, pull quotes, and luxury-oriented branding. It can work for short passages at larger sizes where the hairlines and sharp serifs remain clear, and it pairs well with a restrained sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is chic and high-fashion, with a polished, premium feel and a touch of theatrical contrast. Its sharp detailing and brittle hairlines convey elegance and intensity rather than warmth, suggesting runway, luxury packaging, and glossy editorial design.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward take on a classic high-contrast serif: tall proportions, crisp hairlines, and precise terminals that prioritize elegance and impact in display typography.
In the sample text, the thin connecting strokes and hairline serifs become especially noticeable at smaller sizes, where the look shifts from smooth to intentionally incisive. Numerals echo the same contrast and refined geometry, keeping the set visually consistent across text and display settings.
