A high-contrast serif with crisp, hairline-thin horizontals and sharply tapered joins set against broad, dark stems. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with pointed, wedge-like terminals that give the letterforms a chiseled, sculptural feel. Curves are smooth and generous, counters are relatively open, and the overall proportions read on the wide side, producing an airy rhythm despite the dense strokes. The lowercase shows a two-storey “a,” compact shoulder shapes, and a single-storey “g” with a pronounced ear, while figures mix strong vertical stress with delicate spurs and terminals.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, decks, pull quotes, and refined branding where high contrast and sharp detailing can shine. It works naturally for editorial layouts and luxury-oriented applications like beauty, fragrance, jewelry, and premium packaging, especially when set with generous tracking and ample white space.
The tone is polished and high-end, leaning toward fashion and magazine typography. Its sharp contrast and tapered details create a sense of drama and sophistication, while the upright stance and steady spacing keep it composed and editorial rather than playful.
The font appears designed to bring contemporary editorial elegance to serif typography, combining classical high-contrast construction with sharper, more graphic terminals for a modern, premium look in display use.
The design’s visual identity comes from the consistent hairline treatment across caps, lowercase, and numerals, plus the distinctive wedge terminals on diagonals and joins. At larger sizes the fine detailing reads especially clearly, emphasizing the elegant stroke modulation and crisp finishing.
