A refined serif with razor-thin hairlines paired with fuller, sculpted strokes, producing a striking black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are sharp and tapered, often resolving into delicate points or small flares, and terminals feel cut and intentional rather than blunt. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with narrow joins and prominent contrast through bowls and diagonals; the overall spacing reads airy and poised, especially in capitals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine entry/exit strokes that keep the set visually consistent.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and large-scale posters where its contrast and hairline detailing remain clear. It also works well for pull quotes and titling, pairing nicely with simpler companion faces for body copy.
The tone is luxurious and polished, with a distinctly editorial feel that signals sophistication and taste. Its dramatic contrast and fine detailing evoke high-end publishing and fashion contexts, while the controlled, classical proportions keep it formal rather than playful.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classical serif voice: maximizing elegance through extreme contrast, pointed flared endings, and carefully balanced proportions for premium editorial impact.
In longer text, the thin connecting strokes and pointed details create a lively sparkle, especially around letters with delicate arms and cross strokes. The font’s sharpness and precision stand out most at larger sizes, where the hairlines and tapered serifs can be appreciated without competing with texture.
