A delicate, high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and assertive vertical stems. Serifs are fine and sharply cut with a mostly classical, bracketed feel, while joins and terminals stay crisp and controlled. Proportions lean tall and slightly condensed in impression, with generous counters and a smooth, even rhythm in text. Curves (notably in C, O, S, and numerals) show pronounced thick–thin modulation, and the lowercase mixes sturdy stems with airy bowls for a poised, polished texture.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and branding where its contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It fits magazine and book cover typography, luxury and beauty packaging, and high-end promotional materials, especially when paired with ample whitespace and careful spacing.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, balancing restraint with dramatic contrast. It evokes premium publishing and fashion-oriented typography—confident, tasteful, and a bit theatrical at display sizes.
Designed to deliver a classic serif voice with modern sharpness and runway-level contrast, prioritizing elegance and impact in display and editorial contexts while maintaining a conventional, readable structure.
At larger sizes the hairlines read clean and sophisticated, while in dense settings the extreme contrast and fine serifs can create a glittery texture. Numerals follow the same elegant stress and sharp finishing, supporting a consistent, upscale typographic voice.
