This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with a strong vertical axis and very fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with a clean, contemporary finish rather than heavy bracketing. Uppercase forms are tall and condensed, while lowercase maintains a measured, readable rhythm with open counters and crisp joins. Numerals follow the same contrasted logic, with slender stems and carefully weighted curves that keep the figures aligned with the text color.
It suits magazine typography, fashion and culture headlines, and high-end branding where a refined, high-contrast voice is desired. It also works well for posters, invitations, and pull quotes, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines and crisp serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, with a distinctly editorial feel. Its dramatic contrast and narrow stance suggest luxury and formality, while the clean detailing keeps it feeling current rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern interpretation of a classic contrasted serif for display-led typography. Its narrow proportions and delicate detailing prioritize elegance and impact, creating a confident, polished typographic presence.
In longer lines, the font creates a bright, airy texture due to the thin hairlines and tight proportions, which can emphasize elegance but may call for generous sizing or printing conditions. The design reads best when allowed space—tracking and leading help preserve the sharpness of the forms and prevent the hairlines from visually closing up.
