A high-contrast serif with sharp, razor-thin hairlines and dominant vertical stems, producing a distinctly vertical rhythm. Serifs are fine and precise, with an overall clean, polished finish and minimal bracketing. Counters are relatively tight and the joins and terminals are crisp, giving the design a sculpted, high-end look. Proportions vary between glyphs in a lively way—especially in the diagonals and wide forms—while maintaining consistent alignment and a controlled baseline presence.
This face is best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also fits beauty and fashion packaging, invitations, and premium product branding, especially when paired with generous spacing and restrained layouts.
The tone is sophisticated and image-conscious, leaning toward luxury and high-fashion aesthetics. Its dramatic contrast and delicate details convey refinement and a sense of ceremony, making it feel more at home in curated, premium contexts than in utilitarian text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast serif experience with a modern, polished edge—prioritizing elegance, impact, and typographic drama over ruggedness or small-size robustness.
At larger sizes the thin strokes read as intentional and elegant, while at smaller sizes they may become fragile and require careful handling in print or on low-resolution screens. The ampersand and numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, reinforcing a cohesive, display-oriented voice.
