A very high-contrast serif with hairline terminals and sharply tapered joins, pairing thin, crisp horizontals with fuller vertical strokes. The letterforms are upright and cleanly drawn, with flat, unbracketed serifs and smooth, rational curves that create a polished, print-oriented texture. Capitals feel statuesque and spacious, while lowercase shows a restrained, modern rhythm with a two-storey a and g, a narrow, precise s, and a light, calligraphic inflection in diagonals and arms. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and thin finishing strokes, keeping an airy, luxurious color on the page.
This font excels in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display typography where its contrast and hairline details can be appreciated. It is well suited to fashion and lifestyle branding, premium packaging, and formal stationery, and can work for editorial text in spacious layouts with generous size and leading.
The tone is poised and sophisticated, suggesting luxury, editorial authority, and a contemporary classic sensibility. Its sharp contrast and fine detailing project a sense of precision and exclusivity, making it feel formal without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-contrast serif suited to refined publishing and brand applications, balancing classical proportions with a clean, modern finish. It prioritizes elegance, sharpness, and a bright page color for sophisticated display and editorial settings.
At larger sizes the hairline features read as crisp and jewelry-like, while in dense paragraphs the overall texture remains bright and open due to the thin serifs and tight stroke modulation. The design emphasizes clean silhouettes and controlled flare rather than heavy bracketed serifs or soft transitions.
