A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong, sculpted main strokes, producing a crisp black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are sharp and refined with subtle bracketing, and many joins taper into needle-like terminals. The letterforms show a classic, vertical stress and a slightly calligraphic modulation, while keeping an upright, composed stance. Capitals feel stately and wide-set with generous curves, and the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable proportion with distinctive, lively details in glyphs like a, g, and y.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and editorial settings where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated—magazine titles, fashion layouts, premium branding, and packaging. It can also work for short, prominent blocks of text when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, with a polished, fashion-forward sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and fine detailing convey prestige and a curated, high-end sensibility rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary interpretation of a classic high-contrast book/display serif, emphasizing elegance, crispness, and visual drama for modern editorial and brand-led applications.
In text, the thin connecting strokes and hairline serifs become a defining feature, giving paragraphs a refined sparkle at larger sizes. The numerals and punctuation match the same sharp, high-contrast language, helping maintain a consistent, formal texture across mixed content.
