A sharply contrasted serif with a pronounced vertical axis and very thin hairlines set against sturdy stems. Serifs are fine and crisp, reading largely unbracketed, while curves are sculpted and taut, giving bowls and counters a polished, carved feel. Proportions favor tall capitals and a short x-height, with compact lowercase forms and clear, calligraphic modulation in strokes. The numerals echo the same contrast and elegance, with delicate joins and thin entry/exit strokes that stay consistent across the set.
Best suited to display and editorial applications such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand identities. It can work for short passages in high-quality print or large on-screen sizes where the hairlines and fine serifs have room to render cleanly, making it a strong choice for premium packaging and formal invitations.
The overall tone is elegant and formal, projecting an editorial, high-end sensibility. Its strong contrast and razor-like details add a sense of drama and sophistication, evoking classic print typography and luxury branding.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with a contemporary crispness—prioritizing elegance, verticality, and sharp detail for impactful typography in prominent roles.
In text, the tight x-height and hairline features create a rhythmic sparkle, especially in mixed-case settings. The design’s crisp, fine serifs and thin cross-strokes reward generous sizes and careful spacing, where its refined detailing remains clear.
