A sharply contrasted serif with pronounced vertical stress and extremely fine hairlines. Thick stems are narrow and decisive, while crossbars, joins, and serifs taper to delicate points, creating an airy, razor-edged texture. Serifs are small and crisp with little bracketing, and terminals are clean and controlled, giving the forms a precise, polished finish. Proportions feel relatively tall and compact, with a steady rhythm in text and clear, formal punctuation-like detailing in the numerals and capitals.
Best suited to display sizes where the fine hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, and elegant invitations. It can also work for short editorial passages or captions when reproduction quality is high and size/contrast are managed carefully.
The overall tone is sophisticated and high-end, with the kind of tension and sparkle associated with luxury branding and editorial typography. Its refined contrast reads as poised and formal rather than friendly, bringing a sense of ceremony and visual drama to headlines and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, modernized high-contrast serif voice—prioritizing elegance, precision, and dramatic thick–thin interplay for premium, editorial-forward typography.
In the sample text, the hairlines remain prominent and the contrast creates a bright, shimmering page color; spacing appears measured, supporting a composed, print-like feel. The lowercase shows a traditional construction with compact counters and a disciplined baseline presence, while the capitals lean toward stately, display-oriented silhouettes.
