This typeface is a high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines set against strong vertical stems, creating a crisp, elegant rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharply cut, with a mostly modern, sculpted feel and subtle bracketing in places. The uppercase shows tall proportions and clean, controlled curves (notably in C, G, and O), while the lowercase features compact, rounded bowls and a two-storey “g” with a distinct ear. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with delicate terminals and clear, formal silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and elegant titling. It can also work for short text passages when set with generous size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and fashion-forward, with a poised, editorial voice. Its strong contrast and sharp details convey sophistication and authority, leaning toward a modern-classic, high-end aesthetic rather than a casual bookish one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif voice for refined editorial and brand environments, prioritizing elegant silhouette and dramatic stroke modulation over rugged small-size robustness.
In the sample text, the bold vertical emphasis and fine connecting strokes create a lively sparkle at larger sizes, while the thinnest hairlines become visually fragile as size decreases. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the design maintains a consistent tension between thick and thin across letters and figures.
