A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong vertical stress, pairing crisp wedge-like serifs with smoothly modulated curves. The capitals are stately and spacious, with generous counters and a measured, formal rhythm. Lowercase forms feel slightly more calligraphic, showing tapered terminals, a two-storey “a,” and an “e” with a delicate cross-stroke, while the long, slender stems keep the texture airy. Figures are similarly refined, with thin joins and elegant curves that read best when given room.
This design excels in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and large-format editorial typography where its contrast and hairlines can be appreciated. It’s also well-suited to premium branding and packaging, especially when paired with ample white space and careful reproduction.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, evoking classic editorial typography and contemporary luxury branding. Its sharp contrasts and poised proportions give it a cultured, high-end voice, more suited to display-led settings than utilitarian text.
The font appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward take on a classic serif model, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and refined detail. Its forms aim for a premium, display-oriented presence while maintaining conventional text-serif structure for readable, composed typographic settings.
Diagonal strokes and joins (notably in V/W/X and the “k”) resolve into fine points, and the light hairlines create a shimmering texture in continuous reading. Spacing appears intentionally open, helping counters stay clear despite the delicate details.
