A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines, powerful verticals, and crisp, tapered endings that often broaden into subtle flares rather than bracketed slabs. The letterforms feel sculpted and polished, with smooth curves, tight joins, and pointed terminals that create a bright, sharp texture. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in impression, while the lowercase maintains a balanced x-height and a lively rhythm; details like the ear and beak-like terminals add bite without turning ornamental. Numerals follow the same contrast and tapering logic, giving figures a formal, display-ready presence.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and promotional posters where its contrast and sharp terminals can shine. It can work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes, but it will be most reliable when given generous size, leading, and high-quality reproduction.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, with a runway-luxury confidence and a slightly theatrical edge. Its sharp contrast and fine detailing suggest exclusivity and precision, reading as poised, premium, and image-conscious rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on refined, high-contrast serif lettering—prioritizing elegance, visual drama, and a polished editorial finish. Its flared stroke endings and crisp terminals aim to create a distinctive, premium texture that stands out in brand-forward and image-led layouts.
At larger sizes the extreme hairlines and tapered terminals add sparkle and refinement, while at smaller sizes the delicate strokes may visually recede, making spacing and size choices more critical. The italic is not shown; the sample emphasizes upright forms and their clean, high-fashion cadence.
