A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and dominant vertical stems that terminate in subtly flared, wedge-like serifs rather than blunt slabs. Curves are smooth and taut, with pointed joins and crisp apexes on letters like A and V, while bowls (O, Q, e) show a polished, slightly calligraphic modulation. The lowercase reads with a steady, bookish rhythm—two‑storey a, open c, and a compact, well-defined e—while capitals carry a stately presence through tall proportions and precise stroke endings. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with delicate entry strokes and sharp terminals that keep figures elegant at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and cover typography where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefits from a refined serif voice, and can work for short-form editorial text when set with generous size and comfortable leading.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical, pairing old-style elegance with a contemporary, fashion-forward sharpness. Its pronounced contrast and fine details create a sense of exclusivity and polish, suited to premium editorial atmospheres rather than utilitarian minimalism.
Designed to deliver an elegant, high-fashion serif impression with sculpted flared terminals and dramatic contrast, balancing classical letterforms with a crisp, modern finish for display-led typography.
At larger sizes the thin hairlines and tapered joins become a defining feature, producing sparkle and strong black–white interplay. In text settings it maintains a classical cadence, but the extreme contrast and crisp terminals will demand careful size, spacing, and reproduction conditions to preserve clarity.
