A high-contrast serif with thick, sculpted main strokes and hairline joins and terminals. Serifs are fine and sharply defined, with a mix of delicate wedge-like feet and tapered, knife-edged finishing that creates a crisp silhouette. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are generous, and the overall rhythm feels vertical and stately, while the glyphs vary in width from compact to expansive for a lively texture. The lowercase shows calligraphic modulation in letters like a, e, g, and y, with thin connecting strokes and pronounced contrast that becomes especially striking in larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and large-scale typography where the contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding systems—beauty, fashion, jewelry, hospitality—and sophisticated packaging or event collateral where a dramatic serif voice is desired.
The tone is polished and theatrical, with a distinctly high-fashion, magazine-ready presence. Its razor-thin details and bold black shapes convey prestige and confidence, leaning toward glamour and editorial drama rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-contrast serif voice with strong editorial impact: bold vertical emphasis, refined hairlines, and sharply finished serifs that signal luxury and modern classicism.
At text sizes, the hairline strokes and tight apertures in some letters can visually thin out, while the heavy verticals dominate the line color. Numerals and capitals read as display-forward, with strong black-and-white patterning and a crisp, engraved feel in the thinnest strokes.
