A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and very thin hairlines. The serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, producing crisp terminals and a refined, print-like texture. Curves are smooth and relatively narrow in places, while joins stay clean and controlled, giving the face a polished rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals and capitals feel statuesque and display-leaning, with pronounced thick–thin transitions that become especially visible at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and large typographic moments where the contrast and hairlines can read clearly. It also fits branding for luxury or editorial contexts, as well as invitations and formal announcements. For extended body text, it will benefit from generous size and comfortable spacing to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is upscale and editorial, with a cool, composed elegance. The extreme contrast and sharp detailing add drama and a sense of luxury, making the voice feel fashion-forward and formal rather than casual or rustic.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice with strong thick–thin drama and refined finishing. It prioritizes elegance and impact, aiming for a premium editorial look that feels authoritative in display typography.
In text settings the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a delicate sparkle, while the heavier verticals keep lines anchored and authoritative. The lowercase shows a contemporary, curated presence with compact counters and crisp finishing strokes, emphasizing a sophisticated, magazine-like cadence.
