A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and broad, polished main strokes, producing a distinctly crisp, engraved look. Serifs are fine and sharp with minimal bracketing, and curves transition quickly into thin joins, emphasizing a tuned, calligraphic stress without slant. Capitals feel stately and somewhat wide in their bowls and rounds (notably C, O, Q), while the lowercase shows compact, bookish forms with a single-storey g and a delicate, tapering f. Numerals mirror the same contrast, mixing sturdy verticals with hairline curves and terminals.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and branding where high contrast can be showcased at larger sizes. It can work for short editorial passages in comfortable sizes and good printing/screen conditions, and it pairs well with minimal, modern layouts that let the hairlines breathe.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, with a dramatic light–dark rhythm that reads as premium and fashion-forward. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs convey refinement and formality, giving text a poised, high-end presence.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on classic high-contrast serifs, prioritizing visual drama and refinement over utilitarian neutrality. Its consistent hairline detailing and sculpted terminals suggest an intention to stand out in display and editorial settings.
The design relies on extremely thin connecting strokes and terminals, so spacing and counters become visually prominent, especially in longer text. Round letters and diagonals show a polished, slightly stylized construction that leans toward display usage while retaining a recognizable book-serif skeleton.
