A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline terminals. Serifs are delicate and largely unbracketed, giving strokes a crisp, engraved feel. Capitals are statuesque with clean, symmetrical geometry, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and tapered joins that create lively, calligraphic stress. Overall spacing reads on the generous side, and the forms maintain a consistent, polished rhythm across letters and figures.
Well-suited to display typography such as magazine titles, fashion and lifestyle headlines, premium brand marks, and posters where contrast can create instant hierarchy. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers in print and digital layouts when set with ample size and spacing.
The tone is elegant and assertive, combining refinement with a theatrical edge. Its razor-thin details and bold verticals evoke luxury editorial typography, suggesting formality, sophistication, and a curated, high-end sensibility.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classic high-contrast serifs, prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and strong typographic presence in display contexts.
The design’s contrast and fine serifs make it most striking at larger sizes where hairlines can breathe. In dense settings, the sharp transitions and tight interior counters in some lowercase forms can heighten drama but may require careful sizing and tracking to preserve clarity.
