A sharp, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and comparatively firm vertical stems. Serifs are fine and tapered, often ending in pointed or slightly flared terminals, giving the outlines a precise, engraved feel. The proportions skew toward tall capitals and a poised, slightly narrow rhythm, while curves are clean and smoothly modulated with tight joins. Lowercase forms keep a traditional construction with a compact, controlled texture; the numerals echo the same contrast and finishing, with open counters and refined terminals.
This typeface suits editorial headlines and subheads, magazine layouts, and brand systems that need a refined, premium voice. It can work for short blocks of text in high-quality print or well-rendered digital contexts, and it’s especially effective in titling, pull quotes, and elegant event materials where contrast and silhouette carry the design.
The overall tone is polished and formal, projecting luxury and restraint rather than warmth. Its crisp contrast and delicate detailing suggest a fashion and culture sensibility—confident, sophisticated, and a touch dramatic at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: dramatic stroke modulation, precise hairlines, and crisp terminals tuned for stylish display typography. Its consistent modulation across letters and figures suggests a focus on a cohesive, upscale typographic palette for editorial and branding applications.
The thinnest strokes and serifs are extremely fine, which heightens the sense of precision but also makes the design feel more at home in larger sizes or higher-resolution output where hairlines can hold. Spacing appears measured and airy, supporting an upscale, composed typographic color.
