A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong, vertical main strokes, creating a crisp black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are sharp and delicately bracketed, with tapered joins and fine terminals that feel etched rather than blunt. Curves are smooth and controlled, with slightly flared entries on letters like C/S and a graceful, calligraphic modulation in the diagonals. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, compact bowls, and tall ascenders that keep the texture open while maintaining a distinctly polished, display-leaning presence.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine layouts, and branding where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry hierarchy and mood. It also works effectively for posters, book jackets, and large pull quotes where its sharp serifs and sculpted forms create an upscale visual signature.
The font conveys a poised, luxurious tone associated with fashion, culture, and high-end publishing. Its dramatic contrast and precise finishing read as confident and premium, with a slightly theatrical sophistication that suits statement typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on a classic serif model, emphasizing contrast, sharp detailing, and a polished page color. It prioritizes expressive refinement and headline impact while retaining conventional, readable letterforms.
Large sizes look especially clean, where the hairlines and sharp serifs can fully resolve. In dense settings the thin strokes and narrow internal counters in some letters may feel more delicate, so generous spacing and solid printing/rendering conditions will help preserve clarity.
