A sharply contrasted serif with strong vertical emphasis and extremely fine hairlines against sturdy main stems. Serifs are delicate and precise, with a clean, contemporary sharpness rather than heavy bracketing, and curves show a controlled, calligraphic modulation. The overall texture is bright and open, with relatively tight proportions and generous counters that keep the letterforms clear at display sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with thin entry strokes and prominent thick-thin transitions.
Well-suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities that need an elegant, high-impact voice. It also fits premium packaging and pull quotes where its crisp contrast and refined serif detailing can be appreciated.
The font conveys an editorial, fashion-forward tone—polished, poised, and intentionally dramatic. Its pronounced thick–thin rhythm and crisp detailing suggest luxury and sophistication, making text feel premium and curated rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a modern high-contrast serif for display-led typography, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and visual drama. Its consistent vertical stress and hairline finishing aim to deliver a luxe, editorial presence across caps, lowercase, and figures.
In longer lines of text the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a shimmering, high-end texture, especially where curves and diagonals meet. The design’s sharp contrast and fine details read most confidently when given enough size and clean reproduction.
