A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong, vertical main strokes. Serifs are fine and sharply cut with subtle bracketing, giving terminals a crisp, sculpted feel. Proportions lean toward tall capitals and compact lowercase with a steady rhythm, while curves show a clear vertical stress and clean joins. Numerals and capitals carry a display-like polish, with narrow hairlines and prominent thick-thin transitions that heighten sparkle at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck text, and editorial display where its contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for premium branding, fashion and beauty applications, and elegant packaging, especially in larger sizes or high-resolution print where hairlines won’t break down.
The overall tone is elegant and authoritative, with a refined, high-fashion sheen. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing suggest sophistication and formality, balancing classic bookish cues with a modern editorial bite.
Designed to deliver a polished, contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif letterforms, prioritizing elegance and visual drama. The typeface appears intended to add a refined, premium voice to editorial and brand typography while retaining conventional readability in short passages.
Round letters maintain smooth, controlled curvature, and the hairlines stay consistently delicate across the set, emphasizing contrast rather than texture. The italic is not shown, and the presentation focuses on upright forms with a clean, contemporary finish.
