A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong vertical stems, producing a crisp, polished page color. Serifs are fine and bracketed with subtle curvature rather than slab-like terminals, and many strokes taper into pointed, calligraphic ends. The capitals are stately and open, with smooth, near-circular bowls (notably in C/O) and sharp apexes in V/W/Y. Lowercase forms feel bookish and controlled, with a two-storey a and g, a compact, slightly hooked f, and a delicate, single-storey-looking r with a fine terminal; overall spacing reads airy and composed at display sizes.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine display, luxury branding, invitations, and packaging where fine detail can be appreciated. It also works well for pull quotes and section titles, especially in generous leading and with ample margins.
The font conveys an editorial, fashion-forward refinement—cool, composed, and high-end. Its sharp contrasts and hairline details add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, evoking magazine typography and luxury branding rather than utilitarian body text.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic, high-contrast serif typography, prioritizing elegance and drama through hairline details, sharp terminals, and controlled proportions for premium display use.
Numerals follow the same refined logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with hairline links; curved figures like 2 and 3 show pronounced tapering and elegant turns. At smaller sizes the thinnest strokes may visually recede, while at larger sizes the cut and curvature read especially clean and deliberate.
