A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and dominant vertical stems, giving the letterforms a sculpted, polished look. Serifs are fine and sharp, generally bracketed, with tapered terminals and a distinctly calligraphic modulation that reads as vertical-stress. Capitals are stately and wide-set with generous interior space, while the lowercase shows compact counters and an elegant rhythm; ascenders are prominent and the overall texture stays bright due to thin joins and delicate cross-strokes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, maintaining a refined, editorial consistency across the set.
Well-suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, book or album covers, and formal invitations. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable size and leading to protect the thin strokes.
The tone is elevated and ceremonial, projecting sophistication and a fashion/editorial sensibility. Its sharp detailing and pronounced thick–thin transitions create a dramatic, premium feel that suits high-end branding and formal typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on classical serif proportions—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and a refined page color for display and editorial contexts.
At larger sizes the fine hairlines and tapered serifs read especially clean and luxurious, while at smaller sizes the delicate strokes may require adequate size, spacing, and output quality to preserve clarity. The sample text shows a confident, crisp line of type with a distinctive sparkle typical of strong contrast serifs.
