A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis, thin hairlines, and sharp, finely tapered serifs. The capitals are stately and open, with broad bowls and clean, straight-sided stems; curves transition quickly into hairline joins, giving a crisp, polished rhythm. Lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with elegant, narrow joins and pronounced contrast, producing bright counters and a composed texture in text. Numerals follow the same disciplined construction, with elegant curves and thin connecting strokes that match the overall refinement.
Well suited to editorial design, magazine and newspaper display, and sophisticated headline work where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and event materials, as well as book covers and pull quotes that benefit from a refined, classic voice.
The font conveys a poised, fashion-forward formality with a classic, print-oriented elegance. Its sharp contrast and delicate details suggest sophistication and prestige, leaning toward a cultivated, high-end tone rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on classic high-contrast serif letterforms, prioritizing elegance, clarity of silhouette, and a disciplined vertical rhythm for impactful display typography and polished editorial settings.
At larger sizes the hairlines and delicate serifs read especially clean and luxurious, while in smaller text the contrast can create a shimmering texture and emphasize the vertical rhythm. The wide set and open counters help keep lines from feeling cramped despite the fine details.
