A refined high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, razor-thin hairlines, and strong thick–thin modulation. Serifs are crisp and delicate with minimal bracketing, giving stems a clean, chiseled finish. The proportions feel expansive and airy, with generous widths, open counters, and a tall x-height that keeps lowercase forms clear despite the fine strokes. Round letters show smooth, controlled curves, while diagonals and joins stay sharp, producing an overall polished, editorial rhythm.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, invitations, and book or album covers where high contrast can shine. It can also work for short editorial passages and pull quotes at comfortable sizes, particularly in high-quality print or high-resolution digital settings.
The tone is poised and luxurious, with a formal, fashion-forward presence. Its dramatic contrast and precise detailing evoke classic print refinement—confident, elegant, and slightly theatrical—making it feel at home in premium, curated contexts.
Designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography: elegant, spacious, and attention-grabbing. The combination of sharp hairlines, clean serifs, and generous proportions suggests an intention to balance refined tradition with a modern, editorial sheen.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a bright, high-definition texture, especially at larger sizes. Figures and capitals read as crisp and stately, while the lowercase maintains a sleek, modern clarity due to the tall x-height and open apertures.
