A refined modern serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, with long, tapered entry strokes and crisp, high-contrast joins that create a polished, graphic rhythm. Bowls are smooth and slightly condensed, counters stay open, and many forms show delicate calligraphic inflections—particularly in curved letters and the figures. Overall spacing feels tight and display-leaning, with a glossy, poster-like presence in larger sizes.
Best suited to display roles where its hairlines and high contrast can be appreciated: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, invitations, and large-format posters. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, while longer text is likely most successful at comfortable sizes with generous leading.
The font projects a luxurious, editorial tone—poised, fashionable, and slightly theatrical. Its razor-thin details and sculpted curves suggest sophistication and exclusivity, lending a boutique or high-end print feel rather than an everyday utilitarian voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, high-fashion serif with dramatic contrast and crisp finishing, balancing classical proportions with subtle ornamental curls for added character. It prioritizes visual elegance and a striking page color in prominent typographic settings.
Distinctive moments include the slashed zero and the lively, curled terminals in letters like C, G, J, S, and y, which add personality without tipping into script. The numerals echo the same high-contrast styling, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes that reinforce a consistent, couture-like texture.
