A high-contrast serif with a pronounced thick–thin rhythm and sharp, hairline terminals. The letterforms are upright with a calm vertical stress, combining tall capitals and generous proportions with very fine horizontal strokes and delicate serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, joins stay clean, and spacing feels open, giving the text a light, airy texture even at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with slender stems and refined curves that read as formal and display-oriented.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display settings where its contrast and hairline detailing can be appreciated. It works well for magazine and fashion layouts, upscale packaging, and brand marks that aim for a refined, premium voice, especially when given ample size and breathing room.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial sensibility. Its crisp hairlines and poised proportions evoke fashion publishing and high-end branding, while maintaining a composed, classical demeanor.
Designed to deliver a distinctly high-fashion, print-inspired contrast serif look with crisp hairlines and a stately vertical rhythm. The intention appears to be elegance and authority through refined proportions, open spacing, and dramatic stroke contrast.
The font’s extremely fine details and hairlines create a sparkling, engraved-like look in headings, but also make stroke contrast and spacing the main drivers of its personality. Round forms (like O and 8) feel slightly oval and carefully tensioned, reinforcing a sophisticated, controlled rhythm across lines of text.
