This serif typeface is built around extreme thick–thin modulation, with hairline horizontals and sharply tapered joins set against confident vertical stems. Serifs are fine and pointed, often triangular or wedge-like, producing crisp terminals and a high-fashion silhouette. Counters are relatively open for the style, and curves are drawn with a smooth, controlled tension that gives bowls and arches a sculpted feel. The italic is absent in the sample, and the roman maintains a consistent vertical axis with a clean, rhythmic cadence across both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairline details can remain clear, this font shines in editorial headlines, fashion and culture magazines, premium branding, and upscale packaging. It can also work effectively for invitations or poster typography when paired with ample whitespace and careful contrast management.
The overall tone is polished and elevated, combining classical bookish structure with a dramatic, contemporary edge. Its thin detailing and sharp serifs convey sophistication and restraint, while the strong contrast adds a sense of luxury and spectacle.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif, prioritizing elegance, sharp detailing, and display impact. Its forms emphasize refinement and visual drama for premium, style-forward typography.
Uppercase forms feel stately and display-oriented, while the lowercase introduces a slightly more fluid, calligraphic nuance—especially in letters like a, g, and y. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, reading as elegant and formal, with distinctive curves and fine finishing strokes.
