A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and extremely fine hairline transitions, creating a crisp, glossy texture on the page. Serifs are thin and sharp with minimal bracketing, and many joins taper into needle-like terminals. Proportions skew narrow with compact sidebearings in capitals, while curves and bowls (C, O, Q, g) stay smooth and controlled. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, small apertures, and tight, elegant spacing; numerals are similarly contrasted with delicate entry strokes and pronounced thick–thin rhythm.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine titles, fashion layouts, luxury packaging, and high-impact posters where the sharp contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for pull quotes and section openers, especially when given generous size and whitespace.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward presence. Its dramatic contrast and razor details feel ceremonial and luxe, lending headlines a sense of prestige and sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with couture-level sharpness and a strong vertical rhythm, prioritizing elegance and impact over neutral text utility.
At larger sizes the hairlines read as intentional refinement, but the design’s delicacy suggests careful use on busy backgrounds or small text. The sample text shows a bright, rhythmic “stripe” effect from dominant verticals, making emphasis and hierarchy feel immediate.
