A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strongly weighted vertical stems. Serifs are sharp and hairline-like, with a crisp, modern finish rather than heavy bracketed joins. Curves are taut and polished, counters are relatively open, and the overall color on the page is dark-but-lively due to the extreme thick/thin modulation. Proportions feel fairly traditional with a moderate x-height, while widths vary noticeably across glyphs, creating a slightly dynamic, display-leaning rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine titling, and brand-led layouts where sharp contrast and fine detail can be appreciated. It works well for luxury packaging, fashion or culture posters, and cover typography, especially at display sizes with comfortable tracking.
The font projects a composed, upscale tone with a hint of drama from its knife-edge details and pronounced contrast. It reads as confident and formal, evoking fashion, art-direction, and classic print sophistication rather than utilitarian everyday text.
Designed to deliver a sophisticated serif voice with pronounced contrast and clean, contemporary finishing. The goal appears to be an editorial display text face that feels classic in structure while relying on crisp hairlines and sculpted curves for a modern, high-end impression.
The punctuation and numerals share the same refined contrast, giving figures a polished, editorial feel. In larger settings the delicate hairlines and pointed terminals become a defining feature, emphasizing a crisp, high-end look.
