A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and extremely fine hairlines that create a bright, chiseled rhythm on the page. Serifs are sharp and delicate with minimal bracketing, and curves are smooth with a polished, almost engraved cleanliness. Proportions feel classically titling-friendly in the capitals—tall, poised, and spacious—while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and elegant, narrow joins that emphasize the contrast. Numerals match the formal tone with thin entry strokes and bold main forms, reading clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand marks where high contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits luxury packaging and formal materials such as invitations or programs, especially when paired with ample whitespace and careful tracking.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical, with a couture/editorial sensibility that signals prestige. Its crisp hairlines and sculpted curves convey formality, confidence, and a sense of ceremony, making text feel curated rather than casual.
The font appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on classic high-contrast serif ideals: dramatic thick–thin modulation, disciplined verticality, and razor-fine detailing for impactful display typography.
The design’s delicacy is most pronounced in thin cross-strokes and terminals, so spacing and size have a strong impact on perceived sharpness. In mixed-case settings the weight distribution stays consistent, producing a clean, rhythmic texture with noticeable sparkle from the hairlines.
