A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines set against strong vertical stems, producing a crisp, glossy rhythm on the page. Serifs are fine and sharp with subtle bracketing, and many joins taper cleanly into hairline terminals. The uppercase feels stately and open, with ample counters and a controlled, vertical stress in rounded forms. Lowercase shapes are disciplined and text-oriented, with a compact, two-storey ‘g’, a small, neat ear on ‘g’, and clean, tapered strokes that maintain clarity despite the extreme contrast. Numerals match the display-forward contrast and feature elegant curves and hairline entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to magazine and newspaper-style display typography, including headlines, decks, pull quotes, and section openers. It also fits luxury and fashion branding, packaging, and invitations where refined contrast is a key part of the visual voice. For body text, it performs best at larger sizes or in high-quality print and screen contexts that preserve hairline detail.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, leaning toward premium and fashion-minded typography. Its sharp contrast and sleek detailing create a sense of elegance and formality, while the open counters keep it from feeling overly ornate or antique.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, editorial interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif: dramatic stroke contrast, sharp detailing, and a composed text skeleton. It aims to balance sophistication with legibility through open counters and restrained, consistent serif treatment.
In longer lines of text, the thin hairlines and delicate serifs create a bright, high-end texture that benefits from generous size and comfortable spacing. The design reads as more striking in headlines, but retains enough conventional structure to work in short passages when set carefully.
