A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and razor-fine hairlines. The letterforms are upright and spacious, with generous capitals and a generally wide stance that gives lines a composed, open rhythm. Serifs are sharp and clean, often wedge-like, with smooth bracketless joins and crisp terminals; curves resolve into fine points and tapered endings. In text, the strong vertical stress and bright internal counters create a polished, high-definition texture, with slightly varied character widths that keep the rhythm lively without feeling irregular.
Best suited for editorial headlines, magazine typography, luxury branding, and sophisticated packaging where its contrast and crisp detailing can shine. It also works well for posters and pull quotes, especially when set with ample leading and thoughtfully tuned tracking.
The overall tone is elegant and elevated, with a fashion/editorial sensibility and a distinctly dramatic contrast that reads as premium and curated. It feels formal and confident rather than casual, suited to settings where sharp sophistication and visual authority are desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on a classic high-contrast serif, prioritizing elegance, drama, and a clean printed finish. Its proportions and sharp detailing suggest a focus on headline and display settings while maintaining enough structure to be used in short text passages with careful sizing.
At larger sizes the hairlines and pointed terminals become a key part of the personality, while at smaller sizes the contrast may demand careful color/ink and spacing choices to preserve clarity. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, pairing sturdy main strokes with delicate connecting strokes for a refined, display-leaning impression.
