A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline serifs. The overall construction is upright and disciplined, with sharp, crisp joins and mostly bracketed serifs that taper to fine points. Uppercase forms feel stately and wide-set with strong vertical strokes, while the lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with compact bowls, clear apertures, and a moderate x-height. Numerals match the display-like contrast and carry the same refined, sharp finishing.
It is well suited to headlines, magazine layouts, and brand systems that want an upscale, editorial voice. The sharp contrast and fine details make it especially effective for large-size typography such as covers, pull quotes, packaging, and formal invitations, where its delicacy can be appreciated.
The font conveys a polished, high-end tone associated with editorial and fashion typography. Its dramatic contrast and precise detailing feel formal and confident, with a slightly luxurious, contemporary edge rather than rustic or casual warmth.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast serif that blends classic text-serif structure with a more fashion-forward, display-oriented sharpness. It prioritizes elegance, crisp detailing, and a strong typographic presence in prominent applications.
At larger sizes the hairline serifs and thin strokes read very clean and crisp, giving headings a sculpted look. In running text, the strong contrast creates a lively shimmer and emphasizes verticals, so spacing and line length will noticeably shape overall texture.
