A sharply drawn contrasted roman with a clean, serifless finish and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are straight and vertical with crisp, tapered terminals; curves are smooth and round with a controlled, almost calligraphic stress. Proportions feel classical and moderately narrow, with generous apertures and clear counters that keep text open despite the fine hairlines. Uppercase forms are stately and restrained, while the lowercase shows a traditional two-storey “a” and “g,” compact shoulders, and a tidy rhythm that reads evenly across longer lines. Numerals follow the same contrast model, mixing sturdy verticals with thin joining strokes for a polished, display-leaning texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand expressions where a polished, high-end impression is desired. It can work in short to medium text at comfortable sizes, particularly in print-like layouts, but its delicate details make it especially effective for titles, pull quotes, and premium packaging copy.
The font conveys a refined, editorial tone—elegant and deliberate rather than casual. Its crisp modulation and narrow, upright posture suggest sophistication and formality, with a contemporary cleanliness that avoids ornament.
The design appears intended to bring high-contrast elegance into a clean, serifless form, combining classical proportions with a modern, minimal finish. It aims to deliver a sophisticated typographic voice that feels at home in editorial and luxury-facing contexts.
Fine horizontals and hairlines create a bright, shimmering texture at larger sizes, while the darker verticals provide structure and hierarchy. The overall color on the line is slightly striped due to strong vertical emphasis, which can add a premium, fashion-forward feel in headings and short passages.
