This serif shows a sharply modulated stroke with thin hairlines and strong, weighty verticals, producing a crisp, high-contrast texture. Serifs are fine and tapered with subtle bracketing, and terminals often finish in pointed, slightly calligraphic beaks. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a generally vertical stress and a rhythmic alternation of thick stems and delicate connecting strokes. The lowercase is compact and clean, with small apertures and pronounced contrast in letters like a, e, and s; the figures follow the same dramatic thick–thin logic and feel designed to stand alongside display-sized text.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial typography where its high-contrast modeling can be appreciated. It also fits luxury-oriented branding and packaging, particularly when printed at sufficient size to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, projecting an editorial, fashion-forward character with a hint of historical formality. Its strong vertical emphasis and razor-thin details create a sense of drama and polish that reads as premium and ceremonial rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, emphasizing elegance, verticality, and crisp detailing for display-led communication.
In text settings the font builds a bold, graphic rhythm where thin strokes can visually recede, especially at smaller sizes or on low-resolution outputs. The italic is not shown, but the roman displays consistent contrast behavior across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping headings and pull quotes feel cohesive.
