A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong, dark stems, giving letters a crisp, sculpted silhouette. Serifs are fine and pointed with subtle bracketing, and many terminals resolve to sharp wedges rather than blunt endings. Proportions feel classical and slightly condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase shows a compact x-height and relatively tall ascenders/descenders, creating an elegant vertical rhythm. Curves (O/C/G/Q and numerals) show pronounced vertical stress and tight, controlled joins that emphasize the contrast.
Best suited for display-led typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book or album covers, and luxury-oriented branding where contrast and refinement are desired. It can also work for short-form editorial text when set with generous size and leading to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and aspirational, with the kind of dramatic contrast associated with fashion, culture, and premium editorial typography. It reads formal and timeless, projecting sophistication rather than warmth or informality.
This design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif look: dramatic contrast, sharp detailing, and a poised vertical rhythm that prioritizes elegance and impact in prominent settings.
At larger sizes the hairlines and delicate serifs become a defining feature, producing a sparkling texture across lines of text. In dense settings, the strong thick–thin alternation can make spacing and punctuation feel visually prominent, reinforcing a crisp, high-end voice.
