A refined serif with a tall, elegant silhouette and striking thick–thin contrast. The design relies on vertical stress and crisp, hairline serifs, pairing sturdy main stems with extremely fine connecting strokes. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively open, and terminals tend toward sharp, clean finishes. Overall spacing feels measured and airy, giving the letterforms a poised, high-definition rhythm in text and display.
Best suited for headlines, magazine typography, luxury branding, and other display contexts where fine detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when set at comfortable sizes and with enough line spacing to preserve the hairline strokes.
The tone is polished and aspirational, with a classic, fashion-forward presence. Its sharp contrast and delicate details create a sense of ceremony and sophistication, lending drama without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on high-contrast serif tradition, emphasizing elegance, sharp detail, and a premium editorial voice. It prioritizes visual refinement and dramatic contrast for impactful typography.
In the specimen text, the hairlines and serifs read as very delicate at smaller sizes, while larger settings reveal the precision of the transitions and the crispness of the serifs. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, maintaining an elegant, editorial feel alongside the letters.
