A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered hairlines. Serifs are fine and sharply cut, often lightly bracketed, with pointed joins and elegant triangular terminals on strokes such as V, W, and Y. The overall proportions lean expansive with open counters and clear vertical emphasis, while curves show a refined, calligraphic stress. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy at the stems, with details like a two-storey g, a ball-terminal j, and a delicate, upward crossbar on t; figures follow the same contrast-driven logic with sculpted bowls and thin entry/exit strokes.
This font excels in editorial contexts such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where its contrast and refined details can be appreciated. It also suits luxury branding and packaging, invitations, and poster work that benefits from a formal, high-impact serif voice.
The tone is polished and high-end, balancing classical bookishness with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and needle-like detailing read as sophisticated and ceremonial, lending a sense of prestige and editorial authority.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical high-contrast serif: sharp, elegant, and authoritative, with details tuned for striking display while still keeping a coherent text rhythm.
The design maintains a consistent rhythm in text through strong vertical stems and carefully controlled hairlines, but the thinnest strokes and serifs become prominent visual accents at larger sizes. Wide, generous capitals and the tightly finished terminals give headlines a clean, tailored look.
