A high-contrast serif with a distinctly vertical rhythm: thick, confident main strokes are paired with very fine hairlines and sharp, delicate serifs. The proportions feel open and slightly expansive, with generous spacing and a relatively small x-height that emphasizes tall ascenders and crisp capitals. Terminals are clean and controlled, with occasional subtle curls and teardrop-like details in characters such as the J/y and some numerals, adding a faint calligraphic flavor without becoming decorative. Overall texture is airy and bright on the page, with consistent stroke modulation and a polished, print-like finish.
Best suited to display and editorial work—magazine headlines, book and film titles, pull quotes, and premium branding—where its contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short text passages in print-oriented layouts when set with comfortable size and leading, especially for invitations, programs, and other formal materials.
The font conveys a poised, formal tone associated with classic book typography and fashion/editorial aesthetics. Its combination of sharp hairlines and dignified proportions reads as refined and authoritative, with a hint of sophistication that feels suited to premium or ceremonial contexts rather than casual messaging.
The design appears intended to capture a classic, high-contrast serif voice with vertical stress and finely cut detailing, prioritizing elegance and typographic presence. Its slightly expansive proportions and crisp terminals suggest a focus on impactful display typography while retaining enough restraint for editorial composition.
At text sizes the hairline elements and delicate serifs become a defining feature of the color, producing a sparkling, high-end texture in headings and short passages. Numerals match the same contrast and include a few distinctive curled details, which can add character in display settings.
