A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick-to-thin transitions and predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, giving terminals a crisp, knife-edge finish, while stems and main curves carry substantial weight. Proportions read on the broader side with spacious counters, and the overall rhythm is steady and upright with a distinctly classical, display-oriented flavor.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and large-format text where the contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It works well for magazine layouts, fashion and luxury branding, cultural posters, and premium packaging, and can also serve as a distinctive serif for short pull quotes or title pages.
This typeface projects a confident, editorial voice with a sense of formality and polish. The crisp hairlines and strong vertical presence give it a fashion-and-culture energy, while the sturdy weight keeps it assertive rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact elegance: strong, weighty forms paired with refined hairlines for a sophisticated contrast. Its crisp detailing and upright posture suggest a focus on premium editorial typography where sharpness and silhouette matter as much as readability.
The numerals show the same bold-and-hairline contrast, supporting cohesive titling and display composition. At smaller sizes, the very fine strokes may require sufficient resolution and contrast to avoid thinning out, especially in complex letterforms and punctuation.
