A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis and very fine, crisp serifs. Strokes alternate between thick stems and hairline connections, producing a sharp, bright rhythm in text. The capitals are stately and slightly narrow with clean, unbracketed serifs and pointed joins, while the lowercase shows compact, upright construction with delicate terminals and tight curves. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with bold main strokes and thin hairline details, giving figures a formal, display-leaning presence.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display settings where the fine hairlines can remain clear. It also works for high-end branding and packaging applications that benefit from a sleek, classical serif presence. For extended text, it will perform most comfortably at generous sizes and with adequate spacing and print or high-resolution output.
The overall tone is polished and formal, evoking fashion, publishing, and cultural institutions. Its sharp contrast and tidy construction feel sophisticated and deliberate, with a cool, modern classicism rather than a warm, handwritten character.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif look rooted in classical proportions and strong vertical contrast. It prioritizes elegance and impact through hairline detailing and crisp serif finishing, aiming for a premium editorial texture.
At larger sizes the hairlines read as precise and luxurious; in longer passages the thin strokes and narrow apertures can make the texture feel airy but demanding. The design maintains a consistent contrast model across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive, editorial voice.
