A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and extremely fine hairlines, producing a crisp black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, with clean, pointed joins and tapered entry strokes. Proportions feel generous and open in the capitals, while the lowercase shows a notably small x-height with tall ascenders and descenders, giving lines a stately, airy texture. Numerals and punctuation follow the same contrast logic, with delicate curves and thin horizontals that read as hairline accents.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and large-format editorial layouts where its contrast and sharp serifs can shine. It also fits luxury-oriented branding and packaging, and works well for formal invitations or title pages when set with ample spacing and high-quality output.
The overall tone is refined and formal, with a fashion/editorial polish and a distinctly classical, high-end presence. Its delicate hairlines and vertical emphasis evoke sophistication and ceremony rather than casual warmth.
Designed to deliver a modern-classic, high-contrast serif voice with dramatic stroke modulation and a polished, print-forward finish. The combination of sharp serifs, vertical stress, and a small x-height suggests an intention toward elegance and hierarchy in display and editorial composition.
In text settings, the small x-height and extreme contrast create a sparkling page color that rewards comfortable sizes and good reproduction. Curved letters like C, G, S, and the round forms in the numerals show particularly fine internal hairlines, reinforcing the crisp, luxe character.
