A very high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and thin connecting strokes paired with stronger vertical stems. Serifs are sharp and tapered with subtle bracketing, giving terminals a crisp, calligraphic finish rather than blunt cuts. Proportions feel formal and measured, with generous counters and a controlled, even rhythm in text. Curves are smooth and round (notably in O, C, and e), while diagonals in letters like V, W, and A stay taut and clean; overall spacing reads open and poised at display sizes.
This style performs best in editorial layouts, magazine typography, and fashion or luxury branding where large sizes allow the hairlines and tapered serifs to remain clear. It is well-suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and refined titling where a graceful, high-contrast voice is desired.
The font conveys luxury and restraint, with a polished, editorial sensibility. Its delicate hairlines and precise detailing suggest sophistication and a classic, high-end tone suited to refined typography rather than utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary interpretation of classic high-contrast book and fashion serifs, emphasizing elegance, vertical stress, and crisp detailing for sophisticated display typography.
In the sample text, the design maintains a consistent color while preserving fine details, but the thinnest strokes appear especially delicate, making contrast and reproduction conditions important. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and slender horizontals that match the letterforms.
